Excerpt from Turkey: Being Sketches From Life
I have ventured to intrude upon your leisure to acquaint you with a few loose facts, which I have learned in various ways, respecting our mutual connections, the Turks.
The dominant fraction of a people without a head, torn by discontented and stubborn or frantic nationalities, with a most abominable internal organization; acting upon principles of government utterly false and absurd, yet rooted in their minds harassed and waylaid at every turn by foreign influence, often in the hands of interested and improper people bowing a stiff and unwilling neck to that influence, but resenting it in their deep stern hearts; undoing, therefore, with the right hand that which they have been just forced to accomplish with the left; seemingly pliable and easy, but really obstinate and austere beyond belief, - such (and something more) are our estimable allies. I am sorry for it; so, I dare say, are you; but this, unfortunately, does not alter the fact, or the results which are likely to arise from it, be those results what they may.

Excerpt from Turkey: Being Sketches From Life
My Amiable and Discerning Friend,
I have ventured to intrude upon your leisure to acquaint you with a few loose facts, which I have learned in various ways, respecting our mutual connections, the Turks.
The dominant fraction of a people without a head, torn by discontented and stubborn or frantic nationalities, with a most abominable internal organization; acting upon principles of government utterly false and absurd, yet rooted in their minds; harassed and waylaid at every turn by foreign influence, often in the hands of interested and improper people; bowing a stiff and unwilling neck to that influence, but resenting it in their deep stern hearts; undoing, therefore, with the right hand that which they have been just forced to accomplish with the left; seemingly pliable and easy, but really obstinate and austere beyond belief, - such (and something more) are our estimable allies. I am sorry for it; so, I dare say, are you; but this, unfortunately, does not alter the fact, or the results which are likely to arise from it, be those results what they may.
I have a high respect for the individual Turk; I have often felt a warm personal friendship for him; I have found him brave, simple, charitable, sincere. But, do you know, I am afraid this merely means that there are a great many good people everywhere.
