Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Russia the Eastern Question Russia is, territorially, the largest civil division of the globe. Its total superficial area is estimated at eight millions of square miles, being more than twice the area of the whole of the United States, and comprising all the north of Europe and Asia, and the north-west corner of North America. This immense territory has given to the Russian empire an importance more imaginary than real. For, as with individuals, so with nations, - nothing, to the cursory observer, invests them so much with the appearance of strength as large landed possessions. According to this idea, however, the aborigines of this western world were a very power ful people, for the whole boundless continent was theirs; and, though divided into a great variety of tribes, they were linked together by interests that made them the common foe of the white man. Nevertheless, they melted away, at his approach, like the snows of winter before the summer's sun. Something, therefore. Beside land, is requisite to national strength.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Russia, Germany, and the Eastern Question The inauspicious experiences of the last few years have already in many minds given birth to such painful misgivings as to our own strength, and to such exaggerated notions as to the power of Russia, that. Our impending abasement by this power, which is represented as advancing under the form of inex orable destiny, has been unreservedly prognosti cated 3 and the regeneration of Europe through means of Russia has been pointed out as the last hope remaining to us. On the other hand many persons who either pretend to, or sincerely entertain a very contemptuous opinion of the colossus with the feet of clay, treat the matter so lightly, 0p posing to the most evident and most incontestable facts nothing but empty words and hackneyed phrases, that the contrary hopes and fears are only confirmed by their manner of proceeding. It is high time to form a clear conception of the Busman state, with its enormous pretensions and the founda tion on which alone these can be based, and to con sider with unbiassed mind what is the position of Western Europe, and more particularly of Germany, in relation to this state. The foundation on which the Russian state may be said to have been erected rather than to have arisen, is the Russian nation-a ality.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The War in the East: An Illustrated History of the Conflict Between Russia and Turkey With a Review of the Eastern Question The author of this work has made the Eastern Question for nearly twenty. Years a subject of constant and special study. As a member of the editorial staff of the New York Tribune, and contributor to other daily and weekly papers of New York, he has had many occasions to discuss it editorially in its various aspects, and as editor of and contributor to several cyclopaedias 'and other publications, he has made himself familiar with the entire literature on this subject. A large amount of information had in this way been accumulated when the new Eastern war began. The general interest which the civilized world takes in this new effort to solve the Eastern Question, appeared to him a suitable occasion to com bine the results of his former studies with a history of the Eastern war, into a comprehensive work on the Eastern Question and the Eastern war.

Russ1a a1ms at Universal Empire, as indicated in the will of Peter the Great. The western powers are not in darkness relative to the intention of the northern autocrat. In all the great national movements of to-day nothing is said by the Monarchs of any other than their own claims to the diadem of the world. Jehovah's claim is ignored. The right of Messiah to the Empire of the whole earth is not once named; and His people are not In any of their plans. The Eastern Question therefore, in the estimation of human rulers and in the purpose of Jehovah, is quite a different problem. To put this question on its proper base is the intention of this work.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Russia the Eastern Question Richard Cobden, Esq., of England, is a name extensively and favorably known. It would be difficult to find the man of the present of more good, practical common-sense. In the language of a personal friend, be is "England's prime-minister of common-sense." His name alone is sufficient guarantee for the extensive perusal of any production of his pen. The following work on Russia was written by him, and first published in a pamphlet form in Edinburgh, London, Manchester and Dublin, in 1836; but its principles and facts have not become essentially changed since that time. They are such as the lapse of time cannot materially affect. And it is believed that the present position of the "Eastern Question," will invest it with fresh interest, and render its reprint at the present time peculiarly seasonable. Few men in our country are better acquainted with European affairs than Rev. Dr. Baird, of New-York, and Foreign Secretary of the "American.and Foreign Christian Union." He was familiar and favorably impressed with this work of Mr. Cobden when it was first published in England, and he now says that "he thinks its republication in this country, and at this moment, would be eminently opportune." For these reasons, it is thought expedient to recommend the work of Mr. Cobden, with a few preliminary observations touching the Eastern Question, to the American public. Russia is, territorially, the largest civil division of the globe. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Russian Empire: Its Resources, Government and Policy Tm: Eastern Question and the war have presented Europe to American eyes in a new, and, to most, an unexpected aspect. The actual condition of the European Powers, their comparative strength, their relations to each other, their present policy, and ultimate aims, may now be better under stood by this nation, than ever before. It is possible that the great events, of which we are distant though interested spectators, may, in their progress, work important changes in the Opinions and feelings of the Ameri can people, concerning the parties engaged in this bloody struggle. Indeed, if we compare the present state of the public mind with what it was at the beginning of the con ict, we cannot fail to remark a decided alteration. A sympathy with Russia is fast springing up in the American heart we scarce know why and every day lessens the number among us, who would rejoice at the fall of Sebastopol.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Private Letters on the Eastern Question: Written at the Dates Thereon, First Published for Private Circulation The French and English Governments have been engaged to mediate, because they were bound, by treaty, to preserve the integrity of the Ottoman territory, - to which treaty the Russians were a party. The Russians violated that treaty by the occupation of the Ottoman territory, in order to force the Sultan to con cede certain things demanded by the Russians. The French and English Governments made propositions for the establishment of peace, which were rejected by Russia in one in stance, by Turkey in the Other, and by Russia at a subsequent period. The Mediators did not pretend to have a right to enforce upon the Russians or upon the Turks the acceptance of such an arrangement. As may suit the Mediatorsf That would be, in the first place, an arbitrary despotic act of power, and a prin ciple, if admitted, which would justify the coercion that a strong State might think fit to employ against a weaker. It would, in the next place, be an act of extreme partiality to the Russians and of Oppression exercised asto the Turks. The latter have been assailed with a military force by the Russians, without even a pretext that has borne a colour of right they have been forced to defend themselves, and war has ensued. Every writer upon International Law de clares, that a war puts an end to treaties between the belligerents the treaties by which Russia has from time to time emascu lated Turkey. Will the Mediators force the Sultan to reanimate those destructive Treaties wrested formerly from the weakness of the Turks, and made for the purpose Of ensuring the continuation Of that weakness, so as to enable Russia to repeat her aggressions?

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Eastern Question There is on this subject a circular memorandum of Lord Palmerston's, dated January, 1848, and addressed by him as Foreign Secretary to the representatives of her Majesty abroad, in which he clearly lays down that it is entirely a matter of discretion whether the British Government should interfere authoritatively to protect the British holders of foreign bonds in the case of repudiating States, and that its right so to interfere was, so far as international law was concerned, indisputable; and exactly the same doc trine was laid down by statesmen on both sides of the House, Lord Palmerston included, in a debate in the House of Commons in June, 1847, on a motion by Lord George Bentinck. If, then, we have a clear and indisputable right to interfere authoritatively in the event of a financial collapse occurring, it is surely not too much to argue that our right to friendly remonstrance, to prevent such a collapse when it seems imminent, is equally indisputable; and with a normal deficit of something like in the annual Budget, is or is not a financial collapse im minent? But I do not rest our right to interfere either on the general or the special plea. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
