HARVARD COLLEGE LIBRARY PROF, GEURE u. WILSON PRINTED BY TAYLOR AND CO. LITTLE QUEEN STREET, LINCOLN'S INN FIELDS. на NOTICE TO THE FIFTH EDITION. The first edition of this work was published on the eve of the meeting of the Conference at Constantinople; and as since then there has been a material change in the political situation, I have found it necessary to re-write several passages before offering the present edition to the public. I have also added two statistical tables, one presenting at a glance the population, the trade, and the financial, military, and naval resources of each of the Powers concerned in the Eastern Question, and the other showing the religious creed and population of each of the nationalities of the Ottoman Empire.
