Notes

Contains unflattering references to the Turkish Jews, as in, "But the Jews generally, both in this city [Constantinople] and throughout the empire, are an ignorant, superstitious, filthy, lying, covetous, greedy, servile race. The curse is still poured out upon them without abatement" (p. 195). Prefatory "To the Reader" is by R. S. Storrs. Frequently reissued.
