Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Eastern Question, Vol. 1 of 2: From the Treaty of Paris 1856 to the Treaty of Berlin 1878, and to the Second Afghan War
This question necessarily involves some of the most fundamental principles of morality and of politics. As a consequence, it has come to engage also the fiercest party spirit. At first it had no such connexion. Men spoke on behalf of humanity, and of nothing else. The earliest meeting expressive of indignation against the Turks had Lord Shaftesbury as its President, and was attended by men of all political parties. It was not then, known what the action of the Cabinet had been, if, indeed, they had taken any.
