text_original: To assert that either Stratford or Aberdeen were the dupes of his ambition is grotesquely inaccurate* The truth is that those sections of British opinion which Palmerston so faithfully reflected were predisposed against the despotic ruler who had abetted the Austrian Emperor in the congenial task of suppressing a popular rising in Hungary, and who, but for the protest of Eng  land and France, would have compelled the Sultan to violate the right of political asylum.
