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.
