Excerpt from The Penn Monthly, Vol. 8: Devoted to Literature, Science, Art and Politics; January to December, 1877

On the other hand, Russia has overcome the financial difficulty which stood in the way of her warlike preparations. On appealing to her own people for the needed loan, she received bids enor mously in excess of what is required. For here also the fire of religious zeal has been awakened in no ordinary degree. Her priesthood, by excited and eloquent appeals from the pulpit, and by the display of pictures of the Bulgarian massacres, have aroused all classes in Holy Russia to a new crusade, and the war is for once forced upon the Czar by his people, rather than proposed to them by him. As regards the Christian champions of Turkey, Russia contemplates no attack upon them; if England is to fight, England must declare the war.
