“Mr. Davey has combined the method of the impressionist with those of the historian and anecdotist, and the result is one that is admirable.... It would be easy to quote innumerable passages of admirable description, of well-told historical incidents, of pleasant anecdotes.... A deeply interesting book, quite unlike the conventional topographical works.”—Daily Telegraph.

“The best book on Turkey that has yet appeared ... a book that goes to the root of the political troubles in Turkey with directness and insight.... Mr. Davey’s book must be read by every one who has eyes to look beyond parochial politics.”—Pall Mall Gazette.
“The description of the Reform Movement in Turkey is especially interesting.... This is a book which well repays perusal, and is the more interesting at a time when the once moribund Sick Man of the East looms so largely on the European horizon.”—Morning Post.
