Synopsis
Excerpt from The Servian Tragedy: With Some Impressions of Macedonia
IN the year 1897 I published a book entitled Servia the Poor Man's Paradise. It was an almost unqualified eulogy, and I feel that some explanation is due for' the apparent inconsistency of certain censures in the present volume.
I protest that my admiration is undiminished for the kindly hospitable people, who worked out their own emancipation from the Turkish Empire unaided, who have solved the problems of poverty for themselves, and who, almost alone in the world, have persisted in cherishing a peculiar affection for Great Britain. I regard the terrible crime of last June as the handiwork of a few desperadoes and I believe that Servia is to be pitied rather than blamed for having cherished such serpents within her bosom.
