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.
