Les rapports constants que j´entretiens avec cette Corporation me font un devoir d´appuyer l´Etablissement d´une Eglise Slave à Constantinople comme une oeuvre d´avenir religieux et politique, que les Franciscains ont déja réalisée en partie. Bien que protégés par le Gouvernement et le Clergé français ainsi qu´appuyés loyalement par la Porte Ottomane, ils sont cependant obligés d´avoir recours aux sympathies des personnes pieuses pour payer la valeur de l´Eglise et du Cloitre qu´ils ont acheté a Constantinople…´ (Translation: ''I recommend to the benevolence of charitable people Father Philippe Pachalitche, Catholic of the Order of Franciscans in Bosnia, Slavic province of European Turkey. The constant relations that I maintain with this Corporation make it my duty to support the Establishment of a Slavic Church in Constantinople as a work of religious and political future, which the Franciscans have already partly carried out. Although protected by the French Government and Clergy as well as loyally supported by the Ottoman Porte, they are nevertheless obliged to have recourse to the sympathies of pious people to pay the value of the Church and the Cloister which they have bought at Constantinople…'') VG

CZARTORYSKI ADAM JERZY: (1770-1861)
Est: €600 - €900
CZARTORYSKI ADAM JERZY: (1770-1861) Polish Nobleman, Statesman, Diplomat & Author. L.S., Czartoryski, three pages, 4to, Paris, 15th June 1855, to Thomas J. N. Brogden, Mayor of Lincoln. Czartoryski commences 'In answer to the address with which the Inhabitants of Lincoln have been pleased to honour me, I beg thankfully to say that these words of sympathy that reach me now so frequently from different parts of England, are a new proof, perhaps a necessary one at the present moment, that the question of Poland, very often so unjustly dealt with in some quarters, is at least thoroughly understood by the rightminded and thinking people of England' and continues 'My fellow exiles can therefore afford to pay no attention to prejudiced and unfounded statements when they are not countenanced by the people of England, the last judge in these matters. Consequently the Poles will read with gratitude the cordial words of your address, and will the more surely indulge in the hope that their unfortunate country, now the chief strength of Russia, the sole cause of her pernicious influence over Germany, a nursery for her armies, an incitement to further spoliations, and above all a bleeding victim of her insatiable ambition, will resume ere long….[and]…..her original and true position, as the best ally during war, and after the conclusion of peace, the most natural and the most necessary Bulwark of European tranquillity and freedom'. A letter of fine patriotic content. Some light creasing, dust staining, small tears and a few minor paper losses to the edges, only very slightly affecting the text but not the signature, G Thomas J. N. Brogden (1814-1880) English Bookseller and Newspaper owner, Mayor of Lincoln 1855 & 1879. Czartoryski began his political career as a foreign minister to Tsar Alexander I of Russia, although later became a leader of the Polish government in exile and a bitter opponent of Tsar Nicholas I.
