In its attacks upon its specially selected victim this giant always struck as if with a withered right hand. All the campaigns against Turkey prove this, from Potemkin's time to the last Eastern war in 1878, entered upon with every advantage of a well-nursed prestige and a carefully fostered fanaticism. Even the half- armed were always too much for the might of Russia, or, rather, of the Tsardom.

It was ratified and approved, by and with the consent of the President, August 13, 1878.
