Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Guide to Constantinople In issuing this Guide to Constantinople let me say at once that it is designed rather for the use of the ordinary sight-seer than of the specialized student. My aim has been to avoid confusing the reader with too great fullness of historical, topographical, or technical details; but rather to fix his attention on salient points, and to convey to him as succinctly as possible such information as it most likely to be of use to one who, without much previous study, wishes to devote a limited time as pleasantly and profitably as may be to the exploration of the City and its Environs. In carrying out this aim I hope that my many years' experience as Dragoman in Constantinople will be found to have been not without their use in enabling me to divine the wants of such a traveler as I have indicated.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Constantinople: Old and New This is not a book of learning, but I have required a great deal of help in putting it together, and I cannot close this prefatory note without acknowledging my in debtedness to more kind friends than I have space to name. Most of all I owe to Mr. E. L. Burlingame, of Scribner's Magazine, and to my father, Dr. H. O. Dwight, without whose encouragement, moral and material, during many months, I could never have afforded the luxury of writing a book. I am also under obligation to their Excellencies, J. G. A. Leishman, O. S. Straus, and W. W. Rockhill, American ambassadors to the Porte, and especially to the last, for cards of admis sion, letters of introduction, and other facilities for col lecting material.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Constantinople, Vol. 1 of 2 It has been my precious privilege to enjoy unusual opportunities for learning the story and entering into the life of the kaleidoscopic city. The preparation of this book has been a labor of delight, but it has occupied many years. No man could have a more fascinating theme.

Download or read book Constantinople the Story of the Old Capital of the Empire Classic Reprint written by William Holden Hutton and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-11 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Constantinople the Story of the Old Capital of the Empire A Word of introduction is necessary to explain the nature of this sketch of the history Constantinople. It is the holiday-task, very pleasant to him, of a College don, to whom there is no city in the world so impressive and so fascinating as the ancient home of the Caesars of the East. It is not intended to supersede the indispensable Murray. For a city so great, in which there is so much to see, a guide-book full of practical details is absolutely necessary. For this I can refer the reader, with entire confidence, to Murray's Hand-book - and to nothing else. But I think everyone who visits Constantinople feels the need of some sketch of its long and wonderful history. I have myself often felt the need as I wandered about the city, or spent a long evening, during the cold spring, in the hotel. I have endeavoured, as best I could, to supply what I have myself wanted. I do not pretend to have written a history of the city "from the earliest times to the present day" from the mass of original authorities of which I know something. I have used the works of the best modern writers freely, and I should like here, once for all, to express my obligations. I may venture to say that the list of books I here insert will be found useful by anyone who wishes to go further into the history than my little book is able to take him.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Constantinople: The City of the Sultans The wonderful beauty of the Site of Byzantium was fully equalled, perhaps even surpassed, by its political and commercial advantages. Easily defended on its land borders, its position on the sea afforded the assurance of vast wealth and prosperity. The duties levied on corn Ships brought a large revenue to the Byzantines, and the fisheries were a prolific source of wealth; for the fish, which, coming from the Euxine, filled the waters of the Bosphorus, inclined to the European shore, and furnished a living to a multitude of fishermen, as well as food to rich and poor alike.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Month at Constantinople When I was on my wav to the East, by the route that I have detailed in the appendix, I met many return travellers, whom I was always eager to question upon several points connected with the general superficial features of a sojourn at Constantinople and I found many little practical hints they gave me, of much service on my arrival. In turn, I now present these to my readers, premising that my humble addition to the catalogue of works upon the East already published, is intended solely for those who have not been there.
