Background
DAVEY, Richard Patrick Boyle was born in 1848. Son of Robert Davey, of Mileham, Norfolk, and Eliza Boyle.

The following book, embody the results of an earnest attempt to set forth the chief characteristics of those heterogeneous nationalities which, in process of time and by virtue of conquest, have fallen under the dominion of Islam. The work deals with the Ottoman and Christian subjects of the Sultan generally, but chiefly with the Turks of Constantinople. In the preparation of this edition of his work the author has endeavoured to bring the contents up to the present date, without, however, entering into too many details, whereby the book, already a bulky one, would have become both tedious and cumbersome. Many friends have aided him in this task by their advice and assistance, amongst them being His Excellency D. G. Metaxas, the Greek Plenipotentiary to our Court, who most kindly read, and in part revised, the chapter on the Greeks in Constantinople. The author has studied his subject with a serious desire to bring before the intelligent reading public of this country such facts and such anecdotes (elucidatory and explanatory) as may enable an impartial reader to form a fair conclusion as to the present conditions and the probable destiny of that great Oriental Empire on whose future action and fate so much of the peace and welfare of Western Europe depends. To attain such a purpose, a knowledge of the life and manners of the Turks and of the Eastern Christians, and of their religious and political views, is indispensable. And the writer of this book offers as an excuse for this bulky volume that his researches on the spot, as well as in every attainable work of authority on a subject so wide, so deep, and so important could not, with justice, be compressed into a smaller space. On the other hand, each chapter of this book could easily be developed into a thick volume by itself, and yet not exhaust its subject.

Sierra Maestra, is singularly indented and irregular; and by reason of its innumerable tiny bays, capes, peninsulas, shallows, reefs, cays, promontories, and islets, presents, on the map, the appearance of a deep curtain fringe. The surface measurement of the island is fully 35,000 square miles. In other words, it is a litde bigger than Portugal, or somewhat over a fourth the size of Spain. The Sierra Maestra range rises from the coast, out of theO cean, with grand abruptness, immediately opposite the sister island of Jamaica. It here presents much the same stately and varied panorama as may be admired on the Genoese Riviera, and, by a series of irregular terraces, reaches theO jodel Toro, or theS ources of theB ull, where it suddenly drops towards the centre of the chain, whence it sends The island of Cuba lies between the Caribbean Sea on the S., and the Gulf of Mexico, the Gulf ofF lorida, and Bahama Channel on the N., being nearly equidistant from the peninsulas of Yucatan andF lorida and the islands of Hayti and Jamaica. It stretches in N. lat from 19 50 to 23 9, and in W. long, from 74 8to 84 158 .T he rainfall at Havana is said to be 9268 inches, or more than double that of the opposite coast ofF lorida. The atmospheric tendencies are less violent than in the other islands. Hurricanes are frequent, but not so terrible as elsewhere in the same zone. However, one of them, in October 1846, destroyed a third of Havana, while hundreds were killed and thousands injured. The north wind blows with more or less strength throughout the entire winter months. In summer, when the sun is at its zenith, torrential rains, lasting for days at a time, are frequent. Hail is rare, but, once or twice in this century, snow has len on the upper plateaus of theS ierra Maestra. According to the proverbial oldest inhabitant, the rainfall has considerably diminished of late yea (Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)
