Excerpt from A Guide to Constantinople In issuing this Guide to Constantinople let me say at once that it is designed rather for the use of the ordinary sight-seer than of the specialized student. My aim has been to avoid confusing the reader with too great fullness of historical, topographical, or technical details; but rather to fix his attention on salient points, and to convey to him as succinctly as possible such information as it most likely to be of use to one who, without much previous study, wishes to devote a limited time as pleasantly and profitably as may be to the exploration of the City and its Environs. In carrying out this aim I hope that my many years' experience as Dragoman in Constantinople will be found to have been not without their use in enabling me to divine the wants of such a traveler as I have indicated.

Excerpt from Constantinople It has not often happened in history that a city which has been the capital of an empire during more than a thousand years has, within twenty-four hours, become the capital of another, founded and developed by a race having a totally different language, a hostile religion and traditions opposed at every point to those of the vanquished. The change after Mehemet's conquest must have been as prodigious as it was sudden, and, on the whole, what took place is greatly to the credit of the conqueror. From that day to this there has never, I believe, been anything like a persecution of Chris tians or Jews in Constantinople. Taking Stamboul, Pera, and Scutari together, there are probably more Christians in the capital to-day than Mussulmans, a fact which can only be attributed to principles of toleration for which the Turks have not generally received credit. The principal churches were indeed converted into mosques, and the cross was everywhere replaced by the crescent, while the innumerable paint ings and mosaics representing sacred personages, saints, and angels were immediately, and in most cases permanently, hidden from view by a thick coating of whitewash. The rigid simplicity of the Mohammedan faith substituted in their place a few names - Allah, Mohammed, Abu Bekr, Hassan, Hossein, Omar, Osman, and Ali, and every mosque in Stamboul, and perhaps throughout the Mohammedan world, is decorated with those eight names magnificently written in Arabic char acters upon eight shields which are hung around the interior. But the Turk was not destructive. On the contrary, he took the Christian Church as his model for his own place of wor ship, and almost all the Turkish mosques are more or less direct imitations of St. Sophia.

Excerpt from Constantinople: Old and New This is not a book of learning, but I have required a great deal of help in putting it together, and I cannot close this prefatory note without acknowledging my in debtedness to more kind friends than I have space to name. Most of all I owe to Mr. E. L. Burlingame, of Scribner's Magazine, and to my father, Dr. H. O. Dwight, without whose encouragement, moral and material, during many months, I could never have afforded the luxury of writing a book. I am also under obligation to their Excellencies, J. G. A. Leishman, O. S. Straus, and W. W. Rockhill, American ambassadors to the Porte, and especially to the last, for cards of admis sion, letters of introduction, and other facilities for col lecting material. Among many others who have taken the trouble to give me assistance of one kind or another I particularly wish to express my acknowledgments to Arthur Baker, Esq.; to Mgr. Christophoros, Bishop of Pera; to F. Mortimer Clapp, Esq.; to Feridoun Bey. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Diary of an Idle Woman in Constantinople I found little of the kind in any of the cur rent works which serve to guide the stranger. I trust that I may, therefore, in a slight degree have supplied the want I myself felt, by grouping about the localities of the principal monuments some pictures of the chief historic events with which they are connected.

Excerpt from A Month at Constantinople When I was on my wav to the East, by the route that I have detailed in the appendix, I met many return travellers, whom I was always eager to question upon several points connected with the general superficial features of a sojourn at Constantinople and I found many little practical hints they gave me, of much service on my arrival. In turn, I now present these to my readers, premising that my humble addition to the catalogue of works upon the East already published, is intended solely for those who have not been there.

Excerpt from Constantinople, Vol. 1 of 2 It has been my precious privilege to enjoy unusual opportunities for learning the story and entering into the life of the kaleidoscopic city. The preparation of this book has been a labor of delight, but it has occupied many years. No man could have a more fascinating theme. Even as Constantinople has a charm for all classes of mankind, I have sought to make this not a volume for any one narrow range of readers, but a book for all.

Excerpt from Guide to the Eastern Mediterranean: Including Greece and the Greek Islands, Constantinople, Smyrna, Ephesus, Etc While all necessary practical information has been given in the briefest possible form, special attention has been paid to the historical, archaeological, and artistic features of the countries to which the books relate. Special pains have been taken to have the maps and plans accurate and up-to-date. At the end of the portion of the volume relating to each country, contained therein will be found a bibliography, to enable the student to supplement the information contained in this guide-book, or to continue his studies should he have the time and inclination to do so. But all the essential facts, both for his material comfort and intellectual enjoyment of the scenes visited, are, we believe, contained within the covers of each book in this series. The text is anonymous, but each portion is written by a qualified and competent author, familiar not only with the country visited, but with its art, history, and antiquities.
