Transcriber’s note:
Two volumes of this book have been put together as a single volume.
The pages have been rearranged so that the text describing the illustrations follow immediately the illustrations. Captions of the illustrations have been used as Chapters’ headers.
The original spellings of Turkish names have been retained except where they are misleading, such as “Babu (Gate in Old Turkish) Humayun” for Baba (Father in Turkish) Humayun. Also consistency in these names have been sought by using the most frequent spelling of these names.
The erroneous statement by author about the emigration of Muhammad from Medina to Mecca has been corrected as from Mecca to Medina.
The the header "Sultan Selim’s Palace at Scutari" is replaced by the caption of the related illustration "Mosque of Sultan Selim at Scutari" as the illustration displays a mosque.
“Fisher, & Co. London, & Quai de l’Ecole, Paris.” line which is repeated in all captions has been omitted to avoid redundancy.
The cover image was created by the transcriber and is placed in the public domain.
