British academic, jurist, historian and Liberal politician James Bryce (1838-1922) visited Armenian lands twice (in 1876 and 1880). In 1876 he climbed Mount Ararat, Armenia's national symbol. During the Hamidian massacres and the Armenian Genocide he was the leading Armenophile in Britain. His October 6, 1915 speech at the parliament about the genocide was included in Arnold J. Toynbee's book Armenian Atrocities: the Murder of a Nation. Toynbee's edited Bryce's documents (mostly testimonies of eyewitnesses) about the genocide, titled The Treatment of Armenians in the Ottoman Empire, 1915-1916. He wrote an article titled The Future of Armenia in The Contemporary Review in 1918.
