An American newspaper correspondent reports from the Ottoman capital and the Balkan states that had broken away from it: the Sultan and his family, the Friday Selamlik, mosques and palaces, Robert College and the missionaries, then Bulgaria and the kidnapping of the missionary Miss Stone, and Servia and its turbulent politics, with Greece and Bosnia beyond.
A lively snapshot of the Eastern Question just before the Balkan Wars, its sympathies firmly against the Turks. Download the free EPUB.
