Excerpt from Greeks and Bulgarians in the Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries: An Open Letter to the Right Hon. Sir Charles W. Dilke This book was written many months ago, soon after the tragic catastrophes which took place last year with unheard-of barbarity in some towns of the Bulgarian Principality and Eastern Rumelia. I now give it publicity on the anniversary of these occurrences, perhaps rather late, but in time, I hope, to enlighten public opinion in England, which, although it ought not to be, is in ignorance of what is going On in the Near East, and is misled by inaccurate publications. Perhaps there is still time for a friend of truth to go to the spot, investigate matters, and report publicly the results of his investigations in order thoroughly to enlighten the British public. Similar things happened about thirty years ago, when public opinion in England was startled by the Bulgarian atrocities. Unhappily, the contemporary Bulgarian atrocities have been more awful. As the reader will see, the leader of them was the Bulgarian Government itself. May I hope that as a result of this publication a Commission for the investigation of Macedonian matters will be appointed? I hardly dare to entertain such hope.
