The North American Conference on British Studies The Journal of British Studies, founded in 1961, is published by the Uni- versity of Chicago Press under the auspices of the North American Conference on British Studies (NACBS). It was the result of the imaginative generosity of a Trinity College alumnus, Frederick E. Hasler (Hon. LL.D. 1957), who contributed funds to the college for the specific purpose of establishing a learned periodical in the field of British history. The North American Conference on British Studies is a scholarly society affiliated with the American Historical Association and open to anyone in the United States and Canada interested in British civilization in its several as- pects: historical, archaeological, literary, artistic, political, and sociological. Its North American constituency comprises about eight hundred members drawn from the fifty states and ten provinces. Affiliated with the parent organi- zation are seven regional conferences (New England, Middle Atlantic, South, Midwest, Western, Pacific Coast, and Northwest) each having its own offices and programs and with a combined membership of more than two thousand. The Conference convenes at least once a year in the autumn, usually in joint session with one of its regional affiliates. It seeks to encourage the serious study of British history, literature, and politics, as well as allied subjects, and among the general reading public through meetings, book prizes, and association with likeminded organizations in North America and Britain and through its publication program. The Conference sponsors a wide variety of publications. Another journal, Albion, issued four times a year at Appalachian State University, Boone, North Carolina, and sent to all members of the parent organization, includes articles, proceedings of all meetings, and book reviews. The Conference's newsletter, the British Studies Intelligencer also sent to members, is published at Georgetown University, and contains notices of meetings devoted to British studies, news of appointments, moves, and retirements, and notes on current publications and research in progress. Other publications appear periodically and will be noted at such times. The Conference awards the following book prizes: the British Council Prize in the Humanities ($750), awarded through an annual grant by the British Embassy, Washington, D.C., in association with the British Council in the United Kingdom, and given to the best book published in the preceding year by a North American scholar on any aspect of British studies; the John Ben Snow Prize in History and the Social Sciences ($750), made possible by an annual grant from the Snow Foundation and given for a book in British history, politics, economics, or the history of ideas; and the Walter D. Love Memorial Prize ($150) for the best scholarly article in any field of British history. Nomi- nations for any of these prizes many be made to the Executive Secretary of the NACBS, Professor George Behlmer, Department of History, University of Washington, Seattle, Washington 98195. Authors must be residents of Can- ada or the United States, but their work may appear either in North America or abroad. Information about membership in the NACBS can be found on the copy- right page of this journal. terms of use, available at https://www.cambridge.org/core/terms. https://doi.org/10.1017/S0021937100023169 Downloaded from https://www.cambridge.org/core.

Under the leadership of former prime minister William Ewart Gladstone, a loose coalition of Nonconformists, Radicals, and High Churchmen created a climate of indignation over the 1876 massacre by Turks of their Bulgaran subjects that was strong enough to call into question the Disraeli government's policy toward the Near East. This absorbing analysis draws on a rich variety of sources to recreate a pivotal episode in late ninteenth-century British history.
