Synopsis
Excerpt from A Narrative of the Siege of Kars: And of the Six Months Resistance by the Turkish Garrison
My connexion with the East is not of recent date. My first visit was in the spring of 1847, my second in the spring of 1849; and since that time I have never left Turkey until the fall of Kars severed my connexion with that country. I mention this that my readers may not think the few remarks I have ventured to make on the institutions of the country are the fruits of a hasty observa tion or mere hearsay. Still, knowing the extraordinary.
