The Eastern Question: Speeches Delivered in the House of Lords by William Frederick, Lord Stratheden and Campbell, 1871-1891
Excerpt from The Eastern Question: Speeches Delivered in the House of Lords by William Frederick, Lord Stratheden and Campbell, 1871-1891
HE present collection of the speeches of the late Lord Stratheden and Campbell upon the Eastern Question is the result of a suggestion made by the late Lord Ampthill. In the course of several visits to Berlin between 1874 and 1878 (the period beginning with the Insurrection in the Herzegovina and ending with the Treaty of Berlin), Lord Stratheden had many opportunities of submitting to Lord Ampthill the opinions he had formed upon British policy in the East, enforced in the speeches contained in this volume. Lord Ampthill - whose mastery of diplomacy and European policy was universally admitted - was so impressed with the sound views and extensive knowledge displayed in Lord Stratheden's speeches, that he urged him to publish them in a collected form.
With such a witness to their value, the Editors, in carrying out the testamentary duty imposed upon them by the late Lord Stratheden, feel that it would be quite out of place for them to add any remarks of their own upon the importance of the speeches which they now place before the public.
