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.

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.

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.

Excerpt from The Eastern Question, Historically Considered: With Notes on the Resources of Russia and Turkey, and an Abstract of Their Treaties With the United States Sia was ruled as Bulgaria is now 5 then she obtained autonomy Similar to that of Servia and Roumania at the present day 3 and ultimately she gained complete independence. Thus the Rus sians long formed the vanguard in the cause of Slavonic emancipation. They were the first of the Slavonic people to fall under the Tartar yoke, and the first to emancipate themselves. This they have not forgotten, and we cannot wonder that théyshould now sympathize with those cog nate races which are striving to follow their example The epigrammatic saying, that the Sympathy of the Russian people with the Ser vians and Bulgarians' is mere 'philological senti ment, ' cannot be accepted by any one who knows the history of Eastern Europe.

Excerpt from The Eastern Question: A Reprint of Letters Written 1853-1856 Dealing With the Events of the Crimean War Washington, has an interesting and special bearing upon the leaders written by Marx: "You see the Tribune has again appropriated a leader; this would be right enough, because it attracts special attention, if only K.M. were printed below it. I believe, too, that they would do this, if it were not against their rules and habits. And, after all, it doesn't harm you much either, for the careful reader can see that it wasn't written by the editorial staff... From personal knowledge we can state that many of Marx letters were used, and printed by the Tribune, as leaders, although Marx had originally written them as correspondence. Upon other occasions, he, of purpose, wrote articles which were intended to be leaders, and in these he naturally wrote in a somewhat different form from that used in his signed correspondence. In several cases where his correspondence has been turned into leaders, a few words of addition and interpolation have been written in by the American editors, to keep up journalistic appearances. (See, for example, pp. 188, 190, 222, and especially the end of p. 193.) Apparently also, on more than one occasion, ideas or actual passages from letters of Marx were used and written round by the American journalists. This has made the task of selection very difficult, and has certainly, in one case at least, led to the inclusion (see CI.) of an article, the major part of which could not have been written by Marx. Whilst there may be one or two authentic contributions of his that have been missed, we have designedly left out several of a purely technical military character. On the other hand, we have included certain military articles bearing very directly on the war. Most, if not all, of these were either written by Engels, or grew out of letters from him to Marx.

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.
