Monroe, Will Seymour. Turkey and the Turks: an account of the lands, the peoples, and the institutions of the Ottoman empire. $3. Page.
7–26348.
A brief but unified picture, gained thru study and travel, of the incoherent Ottoman empire and its complex civilization. A chapter is devoted to the rise, another to the decline of the empire one is given to the significant events in Turkish history during the past thirty years, but the most of the book is devoted to matters of purely human interest, including eight chapters upon Constantinople, its monuments, characteristic quarters, street scenes, bazaars, baths, kahns, fountains, mosques and dervishes.

“As a whole, the book is to be commended for the useful information which it gives, but in some points it merits criticism.”
