Excerpt from Russian Wars With Turkey
The following pages lay no claim to originality, in them will be found no new theories of history - no startling discovery in the science of either war or politics. They are simply intended to lay before the public some passages in the history of the past, and from them, if possible, to give a glimpse of the future.
The wars of 1828 and 1829 are given in detail; the account of them is derived from the works of Count Moltke, Colonel Chesney, Fonton, Valentine, Allison, and others. These campaigns, which hitherto have been but little noticed or read, would be most interesting, if only as an abstract study of the art of war. They have, however, another claim to attention - sooner or later, if not in the days of the present, as is most probable, certainly in those of the next generation, there will be other battles under other leaders, but fought over the same battlegrounds and between the same nations.
Monarchs, generals, armies change, but rivers, mountains, and the principles of strategy remain the same.
