Excerpt from A Journal Kept in Turkey and Greece: In the Autumn of 1857 and the Beginning of 1858 The following pages contain extracts from a Journal which I kept in Therapia, The Troad, Smyrna, and Athens, in the autumn and winter of 1857 - 1858, It was written with no view to publication; but, as it throws light on questions of political importance, I think that I ought not, under present circumstances, to withhold it. The state of affairs in the East is strange, and is imperfectly understood in England. We have had to take part in them, we may have to do so again, and every one must be anxious that our conduct should be governed by as much knowledge as can be obtained. I believe that the conversations, of which this Journal mainly consists, are faithfully reported. Whenever I had an opportunity, I submitted the reports to the interlocutors themselves.
