Book Description
Excerpt from Letters From Constantinople These letters are enlarged from letters I wrote three years ago, during the bright days I enjoyed at Constantinople. I went there with my husband, who required change and rest, to see our son, who was then, and still is, Secretary of Embassy there. Though our sons letters had led us to expect much, the extreme loveliness of the Bosphorus, and the interest of the historical monuments in and around Constantinople, took us completely by surprise. We were received with the greatest kindness by Sir Clare Ford, our Ambassador, and by all the members of the British Embassy. H.M. the Sultan bestowed on us marks of his Imperial favour such as had seldom before been bestowed on mere travellers.

Book Description
Excerpt from A Residence at Constantinople, Vol. 1 of 2: During a Period Including the Commencement, Progress, and Termination of the Greek and Turkish Revolutions During my first residence in Turkey I was in the habit of detailing to friends at home, at their special request, the various passing events of that very interesting period, and just at the time they occurred. The partiality of my correspondents attached more importance to my communications than they merited - they preserved my letters with a view which I never had in contemplation when they were written, and on my return they requested me to revise and publish them. I did so with such as were connected with an event in which the public were much interested - the advance of the Russians to Constantinople, as I had then just passed over the ground through which they were preparing to march.

Book Description
Excerpt from Constantinople and Its Environs, Vol. 1 of 2: In a Series of Letters, Exhibiting the Actual State of the Manners, Customs, and Habits of the Turks, Armenians, Jews, and Greeks, as Modified by the Policy of Sultan MahmoudThese successful attempts of the only despot of the age who has exerted himself in ameliorating the condi tion of his subjects, have already produced many and radical changes. Turkey is not what it was; nor are its habits and institutions what they once were. Great changes have taken, and are hourly taking, place, that will either result in a dismemberment of the empire, the deposition of Sultan Mahmoud, or the gradual resuscita tion of the remnants at least of this vast association of kingdoms. Thus the ancient accounts of the state of Turkey, its dress, manners, and habits, are gradually becoming obsolete, like the black-letter books of the middle ages. We require a picture of the Ottoman empire as it now is, not as it was five hundred years, or, indeed, fifty years ago. To receive our impressions from such accounts as have hitherto been strictly cor rect, would be somewhat like setting down contented with a description of the Mississippi Valley previous to the establishment of our independence.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Constantinople and Its Environs, Vol. 2 of 2: In a Series of Letters, Exhibiting the Actual State of the Manners, Customs, and Habits of the Turks, Armenians, Jews, and Greeks, as Modified by the Policy of Sultan Mahmoud IT appears to me to be a long time since I have given you any of my hieroglyphics to decipher, but the fact is, I have not been able to write, not that I have been sick, but that I have not been well. I have been just in that state when a man is fit for nothing under heaven, that I know of, except to sleep and lounge about. I have been bilious, and had not the courage to take the proper medicine. A slight sickness of the stomach, a dull stupid feeling in the head, an absolute laziness of body and mind. To tell the truth, I believe I have had the blue devils. Were you ever troubled in that way.l It is abominable, and serves only to reconcile one to death. If I had been in England, I should have hanged myself, or done something equally ridicu lous.

Book Description
Excerpt from A Month at Constantinople When I was on my wav to the East, by the route that I have detailed in the appendix, I met many return travellers, whom I was always eager to question upon several points connected with the general superficial features of a sojourn at Constantinople and I found many little practical hints they gave me, of much service on my arrival. In turn, I now present these to my readers, premising that my humble addition to the catalogue of works upon the East already published, is intended solely for those who have not been there.
