Book excerpt: "To their Excellencies the Turkish Government officials, who so generously contributed to the enjoyment of his tour, this humble record of it is gratefully inscribed by the Author." Mr. Abbott's dedication, if we may judge by a quotation from "Hudibras" which accompanies it, is intended for sarcasm. But Turkish officials, whatever their other shortcomings, are notoriously hospitable and friendly to travelers, and Mr. Abbott, though he seems to have had no claim upon their generosity, was evidently treated with great kindness. His return for this takes the form of slanderous sneers and scandals at second hand. When Hadji Demir Bey asked him to dinner, Mr. Abbott reflected that the stain of associating with an infidel would doubtless be washed off in the blood of infidels someday. Judging from the rest of the book, this brutal and unnecessary remark was intended to be funny. Here are further examples of the author's new humor. As everyone knows, the whirling dervishes execute a graceful and solemn exercise, which is symbolical of the universe. Mr. Abbott alludes to their "ballet... not advertised in an ordinary way". Their devout serenity, he says, "revealed nothing more spiritual than the serenity which comes from intellectual vacuity assisted by perfect digestion." Again, deeming it clever to romance about himself, by the way, he said to his muleteer, "I am the son of the Bishop of Serres." As Greek bishops do not marry, this was a peculiarly unfortunate jest. "' What! the muleteer gasped, pulling at his donkey's halter till they both stood still, the one gaping with mouth and eyes wide open, the other wagging its tail sympathetically. 'Oh, I see', said the keradji as soon as he had somewhat recovered from the shock, giving me a friendly wink, 'Such things will happen. The flesh is weak'."

His results are formulated in this 1903 book and include accounts of such varying topics as the folk-calendar, funeral rites and bird legends among many other observations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Macedonian Folklore For these spiritual excursions into the vast unknown, the author is chiefly indebted to the guidance of Mr Tylor's and Mr F razer's monumental works, to some of Mr Andrew Lang's essays, and to various other authorities mentioned in the foot notes. His thanks are also due to his forerunners ln the pursuit of Modern Greek folklore, and more particularly to Mr Tozer, Herr Bernhard Schmidt, MM. Georgeakis et Pineau, Sir Rennell Rodd and others whose labours it has been his modest ambition to supplement. In conclusion, it is the author's pleasant duty to acknowledge his obligations to the readers of the Cambridge University Press, Whose conscientious and intelligent revision of the proofs has saved him from many a slip.
