"Their Zaptiehs and their Mudirs, their Bimbashis and Yuzbashis, their Kaimakams and their Pashas, one and all, bag and baggage, shall, I hope, clear out from the province that they have desolated and profaned."
Gladstone, William Ewart (1876). Bulgarian Horrors and the Question of the East. London: John Murray. p. 31.
I see, that was a misquote. Curious, since it seems like a genuine item. I don't have that quote on hand (i.e. the referenced article). Have to take it that it *is* a spoof, as advised
