Excerpt from Kismet or the Doom of Turkey
At the moment these opinions were not received with much favour. I did not expect that they would be. But of late, if I am not much mistaken, there has been a considerable change in public feel ing; and, certainly, nearly every Englishman that, since the commencement of the war, has written and published letters upon Turkey, whether as a correspondent to The Times or other influential journal, or as an officer or mere traveller, has (more or less decidedly) adopted my views as to the mischievous effect of the late changes, and the real helplessness and decrepitude of the Ottoman State.

Reseña del editor
Excerpt from Kismet or the Doom of Turkey
This little work was first issued in the autumn of last year (1853), when I humbly conceived that the costly and dangerous extremity of a war with Russia might yet be avoided; and that every effort, however weak, which tended to the preservation of peace, was praiseworthy in itself.
I also considered it as a matter of the highest consequence that, if our Government were to go to war, with Turkey and France for allies, they should be warned beforehand what sort of allies the Turks were likely, or rather sure, to prove themselves.
