If they are, they are unworthy of the blessings they themselves enjoy… why not call a public meeting, and appoint a committee to receive contributions?”" and sparked lobbying for intervention by the Dundee Foreign Affairs Committee, calls to arms for the defense of Circassia, the founding of the Circassian Aid Committee in London, and constant reporting on the issue by various newspapers such as The Scotsman.Rosser-Owen, Sarah A.S.
