Among The Turks PDF Download

Excerpt from Among the Turks It is the privilege and solace of age to go back upon the past and recount what has been, as the future closes up and little remains to be achieved or attempted. The writer of the following pages has availed himself of this privilege in giving so large a place to narratives of personal experience. No one can live thirty-five years in so strange a country as the Turkish empire is, and come into contact with its government, institutions, religions, peoples, and industries without having many experiences which illustrate the peculiarities of the land. These personal narratives are of interest to the reader only so far as they are thus illustrative. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
