Excerpt from Library of Universal History and Popular Science, Vol. 12: Containing a Record of the Human Race From the Earliest Historical Period to the Present Time; Embracing a General Survey of the Progress of Mankind in National and Social Life, Civil Government, Religion, Literature, Science and Art

Stratford de Redcliffe, formerly Sir Stratford Canning, whom the Czar Nicholas spitefully called the English Sultan.

The Turks had a prophecy that their dominion in Europe would last four hundred years from its establishment. Early in 1853 - the year when the Turkish Empire in Europe was prophesied to end - the Czar Nicholas made secret proposals to Great Britain to unite with him in a partition of the spoils of the Sick Man of Europe. Great Britain rejected the Czar's overtures, and entered into a close alliance with the other Great Powers, especially with France under the Emperor Napo leon III., who, in his desire to gratify his army by a foreign war, sustained Great Britain in her policy on the Eastern question.
