Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Czar and the Sultan: Or, Nicholas and Abdul Medjid: Their Private Lives and Public Actions; To Which Is Added the Turks in Europe: Their Rise and Decadence To satisfy the curiosity so vividly excited by the present aspect of affairs in the eastern extremities of Europe, I have been requested to write a double biographical notice on Nicholas the First and Abdul Medjid - the fact of my having resided for some period in the Danubian Principalities being considered to offer guarantees of novelty and truthfulness on the subject. The Moldo-Wallachian boyars - in the midst of whom I lived - are, in fact, admirably situated for ascertaining the truth between the two autocrats who dispute the privilege of protecting them. Their unfortunate country, invariably the victim of all the quarrels between the Turks and Russians, has as much to fear from their friends of the Pruth as from those of the Balkans. Consequently, all that takes place at St. Petersburg is discussed by them with no less interest than that which passes at Constantinople.
