Turkey #261582

The naval history of Turkey, a subject Of peculiar 'nterest, has been barely touched upon here, because it is so closely interwoven with the exploits of the Barbary buccaneers, that it will be more satisfactorily traced in the Story of Me Corsair/5, which I am writing for the same series. Another subject which has been omitted is the history of Egypt under Turkish rule: for this belongs to the special volume on Modern Egypt, which is in preparation.
