TURKEY IN EUROPE. 



By ODYSSEUS. 



One vol, demy Zvo., with Maps, i6j. 



This important book, by an author whose knowledge of his subject 

 would at once be recognised were his name upon the title-page, will, 

 it is hoped, take rank as a standard work of reference on Turkey and 

 the Eastern Question. After an amusing introduction, the book opens 

 with an historical sketch on South-Eastern Europe before and after the 

 Turkish conquest. Then follows an account of the Turks themselves, 

 their origin and nomadic character, their language, their political and 

 social organization. Considerable space is devoted to Mohamme- 

 danism, the most important influence to which the Turk is subjected, 

 and to the position of the Orthodox Church. The work then proceeds 

 to work out the details of Turkish rule in chapters on the Greeks, the 

 Bulgarians and Serbs, the Albanians and Vlachs, and finally the 

 Armenians, who, though geographically Asiatic, have been so closely 

 identified of late with events in Constantinople that their inclusion 

 hardly needs an apology. The book, which has been unavoidably 

 delayed, is now complete, and will be ready in October.
