OPINIONS of the EUROPEAN PRESS on the EASTERN QUESTION. Translated or
Extracted from Turkish, German, French, and English Papers, and Reviews.
By DAVID ROSS, of Bladensburgh, Esq.
"* * * The papers from the '_Moniteur Ottoman_,' in the volume
before us, would produce no discredit to our English Journals; they
come to us with the strong impress of feeling, and conviction, and
truth. We recommend these papers to the special attention of our
readers, and we repeat our hopes and our wishes, that the whole
contents of this important volume will not remain unexplored by our
fellow countrymen."--_Scots Times_.
"These translations and extracts consist of some of the best Essays
and Papers that have been written since the commencement of the
year 1835, on the designs of Russia, the conditions and prospects
of Turkey, and the power, as well as duties, belonging to certain
of the great European kingdoms--England especially, to check the
encroachments of the Northern Autocrat. The Editor, from his
preface and notes, seems to have been a resident in Turkey for a
considerable time, and to possess a thorough acquaintance with the
Eastern question. We believe that the works which have been given
to the world, on the Eastern question, by the publishers of the
present volume, have greatly, nay mainly contributed to the
dissemination of sound views on this great subject; nor can we
doubt of those collected translations and extracts, so well chosen
and edited as they are, tending still further to enlighten the mind
and invigorate the arm of England in behalf of freedom and justice,
and to the effectual checking of the despot's ambition."--_Monthly
Review_.

ENGLAND and RUSSIA, being a Fifth Edition of England, France, Russia,
and Turkey, revised and enlarged, 4_s._ 6_d._ boards.
"The action of Russia on Turkey--the treaty of Adrianople, of
Unkiar Skelessi--the convention of St. Petersburgh, have been so
completely laid bare, in 'England, France, Russia, and Turkey,'
that we need offer no remark on the subject; no attempt has been
made to controvert any of its positions; no doubt seems even to
remain as to their truth. That essay is too succinct to admit of
useful citation; it cannot be analysed, because it is itself a
condensed analysis of an overwhelming subject. We must content
ourselves with urging it on our reader's attention."--_British and
Foreign Review_, No. I.
"The effect of this publication on opinion in England, is, perhaps
unparalleled. The question interests now, because rendered
intelligible."--_Foreign Quarterly Review_, No. XXX.

"... And a clearer or more incontrovertible statement as to the
present posture of affairs in the East was certainly never penned.
It is evidently the production of a man who has not only been a
long time in Turkey, but has lived there under auspices which gave
him access to the most infallible sources of information."--_Times,
