An American Th Orientals; Including an Audience With the Sultan, Interior of a Turkish Harem (Classic Reprint)

Turks; their singular observances and beliefs; and the attitude in which they now stand before the world, owing to the com plicated condition of the Russo-G reek question, invol ving, as it has, in a bloody struggle, not only Turkey and Russia, but the great Western powers of Europe, render authentic accounts of their manners and cus toms peculiarly interesting. A simple, unadorned, but truthful narration of what came under.the authors observation during a few months sojourn at Constanti nople, is all that he has aimed at in the unpretending volume now modestly submitted to the public. BALTIMORE, A pril 30, 1855.
