Book Description
Excerpt from Turkey, Ancient and Modern: A History of the Ottoman Empire From the Period of Its Establishment to the Present Time; With Appendix Tar; empire of the Sultan has for ages been in vested with a high degree of interest. During its early progress, the mystery and vagueness of what little was known of its military organization, and the marvellous incidents which were constantly illustrating its annals, caused the nations to regard it with some what of the indefinite dread which aerial meteors were wont to excite. In more modern times, notwithstanding the termination of its career of conquest, the interest attached to it has become greatly enhanced by the romantic beauty of its capital, the chivalrous courage of its subjects, the important geographical position which it occupies in the centre of the ancient world, and by its having been regarded as the keystone of the arch of European politics.

Charity and the Great Hunger in Ireland
Author: Christine KinealyPublisher: A&C Black
ISBN: 1441133089
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 257
Book Description
The Great Irish Famine was one of the most devastating humanitarian disasters of the nineteenth century. In a period of only five years, Ireland lost approximately 25% of its population through a combination of death and emigration. How could such a tragedy have occurred at the heart of the vast, and resource-rich, British Empire? Charity and the Great Hunger in Ireland explores this question by focusing on a particular, and lesser-known, aspect of the Famine: that being the extent to which people throughout the world mobilized to provide money, food and clothing to assist the starving Irish. This book considers how, helped by developments in transport and communications, newspapers throughout the world reported on the suffering in Ireland, prompting funds to be raised globally on an unprecedented scale. Donations came from as far away as Australia, China, India and South America and contributors emerged from across the various religious, ethnic, social and gender divides. Charity and the Great Hunger in Ireland traces the story of this international aid effort and uses it to reveal previously unconsidered elements in the history of the Famine in Ireland.
