Abstract
The writers published in Tait’s Edinburgh Magazine had Radical sympathies, and the anonymous author’s views are indeed very different to those of MacKnight. While MacKnight was prepared to accept that both Palmerston and Aberdeen acted out of the best motives, though they could not invariably achieve everything they set out to do, this writer is by no means as sympathetic to them. Palmerston stood silent by; but that he did stand by, and not aloof or over against, gave him an enduring place in the affections of English and continental Liberals, and the real or simulated hatred of the illiberal. Before another month had elapsed, the Russians had passed from Turkish into Hungarian territory. Our Ambassador at Constantinople, in concert with the French Ambassador, instantly put himself in communication with the Porte, and with the Home Government. Turkey was, if not disposed to aid the Hungarians, quite averse to being made an instrument of their destruction.
