LAND AND W AT E R . 
intelligence of Armenians is due to the fact that they 
are the descendants of parents who have been civilised 
for centuries. Armenia was the first country to e^tablioh 
Christianity as the religion of the State. Their gre-it 
Christian teacher and national saint is Gregorj' the 
Illuminator. . . . It is rare to visit the house of an 
Armenian in a fairly prosperous condition where there 
is not evidence of artistic and musical taste : pictures or 
a piano, or other musical instruments. 
Education has always been regarded by the Turkish 
Government as dangerous. It is the Armenian desire 
for schools that lias far more to do with Turkish hate 
than the Christian religion. It was the same in Bul- 
garia in 1876. " A veritable passion for education 
possessed the people," and the school-teachers were 
those who were first tortured and murdered. Strange 
though it sounds to-day, the Bulgarian people, as a 
.separate race from their rulers, were almost unknown 
in England except to a few experts forty years ago. Sir 
Edwin, as it was said at the time, was " tiie discoverer 
of the existence of Bulgaria," and it is not unreasonable

Armenia at the present time. 
In this intere.sti-ng. autobiography many sidelights 
are thrown on the principal actors in the \ear East dur- 
ing the four decades which it covers. Of Abdul Hamid 
Sir Edwin writes : " He is a man of a certain amount of 
cunning, but also of a meanness of character which 's 
not Turkish." When lie was deposed four wagon- 
loads of " djournals," or the reports of spies, were re-
