Book Description
Excerpt from Life in the Harem I had quarters most of the time in_the Mohammedan section of the city. When I went across the bridge over the Golden Horn to Para where the Europeans and Greeks live I saw new sights. There the women go about with their faces uncovered, men and women talk to gether. All this was new to me, and it surprised me greatly. But the most significant thing to me was coming to know the life of the women in the Turkish Harems, and what the supposed great dignity of Mohammedan women really amounted to, and to learn the purpose of a man having so many wives.

Book Description
Excerpt from Actual Life in the Turkish Harem This is the story of the woman of locks and bars - harem. Stripped Of its trammels and tassels Of sentimental and mawkish fairy tales and dramatic Arabian Night stories, the Harem is plainly one Of the fundamental prin ciples Of Mohammedanism, which permits a man to marry as many as four women at a time, under certain restrictive conditions; to keep them indoors, behind locks and bars, or under veil and shawl when out of doors, away from the gaze Of men other than their hus bands or immediate members Of the family, and to divorce them, according to the Koranic laws, until a man shall have married as many as seven women all told. He may also have other women in his household or elsewhere, without marrying them, provided that he has fulfilled his Obligations to those whom he has married.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Romance of the Harem, Vol. 1 of 3 In order to localise-the different tales, I have endeavoured to adopt to a certain degree the' florid and figurative style of language m which the Orientals so much delight, and so constantly indulge; while I have been careful neither to caricature their habits nor their opinions; but to 'confine myself as closely as possible to the actions and feelings of every-day Turkish life; and to fling off, if I may so express it, all idea of authorship, to identify myself for the time with the individuals of whom I wrote.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Romance of the Harem, Vol. 1 of 2 Tan flattering success of my late work on Turkey has induced me to ofi'er to the public the present collection of Oriental Fictims; which are genuine tales related by the professional Mmald he or story-tellers of the East, in the harems of the wealthy Tur dur ing seasons of festivity, and particularly in that of the Ramazan. In the selection which I have made, I have, throughout the whole work, 'carefully avoided the supernatural, save in one solita? In stance, where the allegory was so talented and tempting that felt it would require no apol with any class of readers; preferring, in every other case, a life rlre and probable chain of circumstances. To a brilliant and impossible picture. Hence my fictions neither borrow power from the Genii, terror from the Ghouls, nor grace and beauty rom the Peris; they treat only of ordinary men and we men; but individuals placed in positions, and actuated by feelings, almost unknown in Europe.

Book Description
Excerpt from Her Majesty the King: A Romance of the Harem, Done Into American From the Arabic By the necessities of life confined to'an editorial desk, unable to give full scope to his genius, he left behind him comparatively few volumes, of which this one ranks as his best humorous effort. Indeed, competent judges say that this book is among the first half-dozen volumes of American humor. Yet, though it received a warm welcome from the critics, it gained no wide public audience. Who can tell why, can solve all mysteries. It is republished in the hope that a recognition deferred during the author's life time may be granted now. And this preface is written that-something may be known of one of the wittiest and most lovable of men. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from Romance of a Harem For many a long year I lived in a harem, and of that time I have the sweetest remembrances. Comparisons that I have been able to make since the chances of fortune led me to share the life of European women, only strengthen the tender melancholy of those souvenirs. The natural sentiments of women - affection, devotion, and the decency of life - become strongly developed in the warm and favourable atmosphere of a harem.

Excerpt from Tales of the Harem The following pages are submitted to the public with considerable diffidence. They form part of a series of poems illustrative of Oriental scenery and mythology, which, should the present specimens be approved, may hereafter be published in a similar form. The circumstances on which the Tales in the present collection are, for the most part, founded, are detailed in the notes at the end of the volume; by a reference to which the reader will be enabled to separate the real from the fictitious incidents employed by the author in the development of each story.

Book Description
Excerpt from An Englishwoman in a Turkish Harem Hese letters do not claim to be a psycho logical study of Turkish character, nor are they a political or historical treatise. They are only an Englishwoman's impressions of Turkish harem life, written during a very happy and in teresting visit amongst Turkish friends. Should I not have said in these letters what my Turkish sisters expected me to say; should I not have understood their civilization as they hoped I would understand it; I feel sure they will forgive one who they know has always been, and will always be their sincere friend. To correct. The errors, prejudice, and hatred which have become almost part of the British national attitude towards Turkey is not an easy task. If these letters have been able in ever so small a way to spread some of the enthusiasm and love I feel for a nation which Europe has so severely censured, they will at least have justified the reason of their existence. My thanks are due to the editor of the Daily T elegmp/z for allowing me to reproduce those letters which have appeared in the columns of.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Convent and the Harem, Vol. 1 of 3 Everything that tends to throw light upon these, the component parts of what we call our nature, may, if properly directed, be ren dered useful; by teaching us what, and how, to cultivate and/encourage - what, and how, to modify or eradicate. Without going so far as those who pretend to pronounce upon the character of an individual from his hand writing, I believe few dissent from the opi nion that some idea may be formed of the character of a nation from its language. In saying some idea, however, I would be under stood literally; for if due weight be not given to the exceptions, the circumstances, the changes, the comparative degrees of such or such quali ties or peculiarities, this theory would lead us it has led, to the grossest prejudice, ignorance, and injustice.
