Turkey And The Balkan States written by Esther Singleton and has been published by this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 1908 with Balkan Peninsula categories.
Singleton identifies her scope to include "the life, manners, and customs" of those nations in Eastern Europe under Ottoman rule, having recently declared independence, or having recently been taken over by other powers. Given the likelihood of war due to regional tensions, the collection sought to provide its contemporaries with a cultural and historical context. It features writings from French and British "travellers of note." The Balkan Peninsula as a whole is described geographically and demographically, and then the writers covered particular topics for each nation. Turkey/Ottoman Empire gets several historical essays, domestic and international political analysis, and cultural essays describing Constantinople, Turkish women, bazaars, and Ramadan and other religious customs. Macedonia, Albania, Bulgaria, Serbia, Montenegro, Herzegovina, and Romania all have at least two essays describing the nation as a whole and its history. Major cities and the differences between rural and urban life are also touched upon for some. A number of high quality photographs are scattered throughout the text.

Excerpt from The Balkans: A History of Bulgaria, Serbia, Greece, Rumania, Turkey The authors Of this volume have not worked in conjunc tion. Widely separated, engaged on other duties, and pressed for time, we have had no opportunity for interchange of views. Each must be held responsible, therefore, for his own section alone. If there be any discrepancies in our writings (it is not unlikely in so disputed a field of history) we can only regret an unfortunate result of the circum stances. Owing to rapid change in the relations Of our country to the several Balkan peoples, the tone of a section written earlier may differ from that Of another written later. It may be well to state that the sections on Serbia and Bulgaria were finished before the decisive Balkan develop ments of the past two months. Those on Greece and Rumania represent only a little later stage of the evolution. That on Turkey, compiled between one mission abroad and another, was the latest to be finished. If our sympathies are not all the same, nor given equally to friends and foes, none of us would find it possible to indite a Hymn of Hate about any Balkan people. Every one of these peoples, on whatever side he be fighting to-day, has a past worthy of more than our respect and interwoven in some intimate way with our history. That any one of them is arrayed against us to-day is not to be laid entirely or chiefly at its own door. They are all fine peoples who have not obtained their proper places in the sun. The best of the Osmanli nation, the Anatolian peasantry, has yet to make its physical and moral qualities felt under civilized conditions. As for the rest - the Serbs and the Bulgars, who have enjoyed brief moments of barbaric glory in their past.

Excerpt from The Making of the Balkan States Within the past hundred years Turkey has lost some what more than two-thirds of her European territory and population. Much the larger part of this loss has gone to make up the four constitutional monarchies that are com mouly called the Balkan States. This study aims to give a brief account of the peoples in these four groups so long under Ottoman rule, and to trace somewhat in detail the movements that have led to their independence. Parts of this field already covered by special treatises have been passed over here quite briefly. The works giving the fuller treatment have usually been cited. Only incidental references are made in this sketch to the other three groups (in Greece, Bessarabia and Bosnia Herzegovina) that have also been completely separated, more or less in the same connection, from Turkey. The chief effort here has been to show the actual working Of the forces that have finally added Roumania, Bulgaria, Servia and Montenegro to the family of European nations. I gratefully acknowledge my indebtedness to Professor William M. Sloane and Professor James T. Shotwell, who have aided me with most helpful advice and criticisms.

Excerpt from Turkey in Europe Of corruption, so to speak, I added, striving. To make things plain. Exactly, said the Vali, and that will at once be understood as a seditious allusion to the Sublime Ottoman Government. No, it cannot be. And to show that his decision was irrevocable he again assumed his virtuous air, and said, All civilised countries are governed by law, and I am surprised that one who has lived in the Ottoman dominions as long as yourself should suppose that Turkish officials can be induced by hopes of personal advantage to neglect the regulations issued for their guidance. Law and obedience are the foundation of the State. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Turk in the Balkans In submitting the following chapters to the notice of the reader, it should be observed that the one and only object in view has been to throw some light on the path of Eastern politics to the advantage, it is hoped, of future travellers. Before many months have elapsed, Macedonian troubles will once more arrest the attention of Europe; the insurrectionary Hydra will again demonstrate its vitality, and the country be overrun with correspondents and others, eager for information as to current events. In the hope, therefore, that the knowledge and experience gained during a two and a half years' residence in Turkey, and by a journey of some months in Macedonia itself, may be of use to the intending traveller, the following pages are offered by way of arriving at a correct estimate of the true state of affairs.

Excerpt from The Balkans: A Laboratory of History Between the years 1903 and 1910 the author made three fairly extended journeys in lands which had once been a part of the Turkish empire. What he was able as a mere tourist to observe appeared to have value as a specimen of history in the making. In the matter of civilization it was the past in the pres ent, a social and semipolitical system projected three centuries forward. Wildest Europe was more pic turesque and instructive than our own Mid West because the frontier of its barbarism and civilization is not only densely populated but also, more than that, by Caucasians. Neither the yellow, red, nor black man is anywhere a problem. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Round About Armenia: The Record of a Journey Across the Balkans Through Turkey, the Caucasus, and Persia in 1895 We are going through a critical period in our history, for there is a general tendency among the Powers to hustle us at every turn, whether with the object of forcing us to join one or the other of the opposing camps of European politics, as some suppose, or simply with the view to weakening us, as I think more probable, does not signify. I believe that, if we do not actively intervene in Turkey, we shall presently find the diplomatical chess-board so disposed. That we shall be at a great disadvantage. The examples of Siam, China, and Madagascar are not alarming, but they are significant. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Near East: The Present Situation in Montenegro, Bosnia, Servia, Bulgaria, Roumania, Turkey and Macedonia The reason of the anonymity of this book is obvious. Revealing as it does the actual state of affairs in the Balkan Peninsula in this present year of grace 1907, it contains many plain truths and much outspoken criticism. By a long journey of close, confidential inquiry through Montenegro, Northern Albania, Dalmatia, Bosnia, Herzegovina, Servia, Bulgaria, Roumania, Turkey, and Macedonia, I have, at risk of betraying certain information imparted to me under seal of secrecy, endeavoured to place the actual and serious truth before English readers, and thus render complicated questions, such as Bulgaria and the Exarchate, more intelligible than heretofore. Private audiences were granted me by the various kings and princes of the Balkan States, and by His Imperial Majesty the Sultan, as well as by almost each member of the various Cabinets in turn, so that I was enabled to gather information, some of which is, of course, known in the chancelleries of Europe, while other facts will probably come as a revelation, even to Balkan diplomats themselves. What I was told in one country was often contradicted in the next. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
