"In Mr. Cobbold's opinion, the destiny of Afghanistan is to be absorbed and to be divided between the rival empires, though, if the reigning Ameer is succeeded by a son of his own mold, the inevitable crisis will be deferred. To sum up his political survey, what chiefly struck him in his travels in innermost Asia was 'the barbarous insistence of the Russian Government system, the brilliant success which invariably attends Russian aims, and the puerile weakness of the British Government in the protecting of the country's interests.'"
