Turkey and the Turks - An Account of the Lands, the Peoples, and the Institutions of the Ottoman Empire #262161

The author has endeavoured to give in this book a brief but unified picture, gained through study and travel, of the incoherent Ottoman Empire and its complex civilization. A Scotch philosopher has remarked that if one Wishes to give a strong and emphatic description Of a country he must not linger long enough to be annoyed With contradictions.
