This is a curated and comprehensive collection of the most important works covering matters related to national security, diplomacy, defense, war, strategy, and tactics. The collection spans centuries of thought and experience, and includes the latest analysis of international threats, both conventional and asymmetric. It also includes riveting first person accounts of historic battles and wars. Some of the books in this Series are reproductions of historical works preserved by some of the leading libraries in the world.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Mark Twain once famously said "there was but one solitary thing about the past worth remembering, and that was the fact that it is past and can't be restored." Well, over recent years, The British Library, working with Microsoft has embarked on an ambitious programme to digitise its collection of 19th century books. There are now 65,000 titles available (that's an incredible 25 million pages) of material ranging from works by famous names such as Dickens, Trollope and Hardy as well as many forgotten literary gems , all of which can now be printed on demand and purchased right here on Amazon. Further information on The British Library and its digitisation programme can be found on The British Library website.

Book may have numerous typos, missing text, images, or index. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. 1837. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER VIII. Ballyk Hissar--Greeks--Divine right--Ibrahim Pasha--■ Mekheme--Sou Sithirlik--Cafeneh--Steam-boats--Muhailich -- Turkish lad--the Aga--St. Stephano -- Barber -- Aspect of Constantinople -- Lower empire -- Historic parallel--Russian Progress--Venice and Genoa-- England and France--Russian and English diplomacy-- Treaty of El Arish--Revolt in Syria--Mehemet Ali --the Druzes. Leaving the important bridge which led to so long a digression, we jogged on, neither sorry nor glad, over a rich country towards Ballyk Hissar, termination of a long stage of sixty-four miles. "Mustapha," I said, "please God! we will have fish for supper." Mustapha thought a minute; then shook the ashes out of his pipe, and gave that interrogatory nasal twist for which Turks are peculiar. "Truly!" I continued, "the place is named Ballyk, (fish,) of course we shall find plenty."--" True!" after a pause, "it Vol. i. z is called ballyk--we will eat ballyk." He then lit another pipe, stuck his whip in the collar of his jacket, arranged his sacks of trousers, and tickled his steed into the chackbin, (ambling shuffle.) No pasha could have smoked more importantly. "Mustapha," I again said, rousing him out of the happy medium between dozing and thoughtlessness, " is the sea near Ballyk Hissar ?"--" You know; there is no sea."--" Is there a river?"--"There is no river."--"Is there a lake ?"--" There is no lake."--" Where then are we to get our fish?" Another mystification, thought Mustapha. He waxed angry, and asked if the bey-zadeh were laughing at him. "You Franks are the strangest people in the world; you cannot be good; you are never satisfied; you always want a reason. Why not leave things as God made them. Fish or not fish, you will get a supper--that is enough." Ballyk equally mystified one of o...

(Sultan Mahmoud II. in effect a Moslem social revolution, ...)
Sultan Mahmoud II. in effect a Moslem social revolution, disturbed the foundations of the edifice reared by his ancestors, and altered the relations of Turkey with Christendom. Previously isolated, with her hand against everybody and everybodys hand against her, Turkey then entered the comity of nations, but on invidious terms, the terms of a stepchild in a numerous family. Drawn irresistibly within the sphere of alien influences exercised by diplomatists variously inspired, she gravitated now towards one now towards another centre of attraction, with unstable equilibrium. No longer self-reliant, she viewed apprehensively the ambition of a neighbour and uneasily the aspirations (encouraged by classic sympathies) of quondam subjects :ill reassured in regard of the former by international jealousy, and with respect to the latter by political incapacity. (Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)
