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 The Empresses of Constantinople Byzantine Empire after Bury's protest against that phrase. But it seems to me that if Roman Empire means an Empire centred in Rome, Byzantine Empire is the most congruous name for a dominion that centres in ancient Byzantium and has, during the far greater part of its story, no connexion whatever with Rome. Most historians continue to speak of it as Byzantine. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Constantinople the Story of the Old Capital of the Empire A Word of introduction is necessary to explain the nature of this sketch of the history Constantinople. It is the holiday-task, very pleasant to him, of a College don, to whom there is no city in the world so impressive and so fascinating as the ancient home of the Caesars of the East. It is not intended to supersede the indispensable Murray. For a city so great, in which there is so much to see, a guide-book full of practical details is absolutely necessary. For this I can refer the reader, with entire confidence, to Murray's Hand-book - and to nothing else. But I think everyone who visits Constantinople feels the need of some sketch of its long and wonderful history. I have myself often felt the need as I wandered about the city, or spent a long evening, during the cold spring, in the hotel. I have endeavoured, as best I could, to supply what I have myself wanted. I do not pretend to have written a history of the city "from the earliest times to the present day" from the mass of original authorities of which I know something. I have used the works of the best modern writers freely, and I should like here, once for all, to express my obligations. I may venture to say that the list of books I here insert will be found useful by anyone who wishes to go further into the history than my little book is able to take him.

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 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 specialised student. My aim has been to avoid confusing the reader with too great fulness of historical, topo graphical, Or technical details but rather to fix his attention on salient points, and to convey to him as succinctly as possible such information as is 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 explora tion of the City and its Environs. In carrying out this aim I hope that my many years' experience as Dragoman in biisfiantinople will be found to have been not Without their use in enabling me to.

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 Letters From Constantinople These letters are enlarged from letters I wrote three years ago, during the bright days I enjoyed at Constantinople. I went there with my husband, who required change and rest, to see our son, who was then, and still is, Secretary of Embassy there. Though our sons letters had led us to expect much, the extreme loveliness of the Bosphorus, and the interest of the historical monuments in and around Constantinople, took us completely by surprise. We were received with the greatest kindness by Sir Clare Ford, our Ambassador, and by all the members of the British Embassy. H.M. the Sultan bestowed on us marks of his Imperial favour such as had seldom before been bestowed on mere travellers.
