Hist.: A term applied to Turkey on January 15, 1854, by the Czar Nicholas, in a conversation with Sir Hamilton Seymour, the British amba ador at St. Petersburg. The Czar intimated his opinion that Turkey was sick and dying. He therefore proposed that, to avoid a European war when the demise took place, Ru ia and Great Britain should come at once to a private arrangement as to the disposal of the Sick Man's effects. As France was ignored in the arrangement, there was some doubt as to the good faith of the Czar. The British Government rejected the proposal, intimated its belief in the recovery of the Sick Man, and soon after fought by his side in the Crime an war. *sick, v. t. & i . [SICK, a.] A.
