Through Asiatic Turkey, Vol. 1 of 2: Narrative of a Journey From Bombay to the Bosphorus (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Through Asiatic Turkey, Vol. 1 of 2: Narrative of a Journey From Bombay to the Bosphorus
IN writing the following pages it has been my endeavour to set down, with entire impartiality, what came under my observation during a long journey across Asiatic Turkey. I have not glossed over what told against the Turks, or suppressed what was in their favour; and I have carefully avoided exaggeration. Whether in the result the balance inclines for, or against, Turkey, it is for the reader to decide. As the country appeared to me I have described it, being anxious only to convey to others the exact impression made upon my mind at the time.
