Description: Discusses the economic background of British diplomatic relations with Turkey. Bailey finds that the Reform Movement was essentially Turkish in origin, and was motivated not by a desire for an improved order but by the sheer necessity for preservation; that Britain did not originate the regeneration of Turkey and encouraged it but little; that the British foreign ministers between 1825 and 1853 pursued a status quo policy which retarded rather than promoted the real reformation of the old Turkish state.
