[110] The following is part of Burke’s address quoted by Bryce: “I have
never before heard that the Turkish Empire has been considered any
part of the balance of Powers in Europe. They despise and contemn all
Christian princes as infidels, and only wish to subdue and exterminate
them and their people. What have these worse than savages to do with
the Powers of Europe but to spread war, destruction, and pestilence
among them? The ministers and the policy which shall give these
people any weight in Europe will deserve all the bans and curses of
posterity.” Quoted from Bryce’s.
