History of the Ottoman Empire

William Deans

Description

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. To write a complete history of the Turkish people, and of the empire founded by Othman, would involve an amount of labour which would occupy many years, and such a work would necessarily extend over many volumes. The following pages have no such pretensions. But at the present crisis, when the attention of the civilized world is.
