Singleton identifies her scope to include "the life, manners, and customs" of those nations in Eastern Europe under Ottoman rule, having recently declared independence, or having recently been taken over by other powers. Given the likelihood of war due to regional tensions, the collection sought to provide its contemporaries with a cultural and historical context. It features writings from French and British "travellers of note." The Balkan Peninsula as a whole is described geographically and demographically, and then the writers covered particular topics for each nation. Turkey/Ottoman Empire gets several historical essays, domestic and international political analysis, and cultural essays describing Constantinople, Turkish women, bazaars, and Ramadan and other religious customs. Macedonia, Albania, Bulgaria, Serbia, Montenegro, Herzegovina, and Romania all have at least two essays describing the nation as a whole and its history. Major cities and the differences between rural and urban life are also touched upon for some. A number of high quality photographs are scattered throughout the text.

Excerpt from The Making of the Balkan States Within the past hundred years Turkey has lost some what more than two-thirds of her European territory and population. Much the larger part of this loss has gone to make up the four constitutional monarchies that are com mouly called the Balkan States. This study aims to give a brief account of the peoples in these four groups so long under Ottoman rule, and to trace somewhat in detail the movements that have led to their independence. Parts of this field already covered by special treatises have been passed over here quite briefly. The works giving the fuller treatment have usually been cited. Only incidental references are made in this sketch to the other three groups (in Greece, Bessarabia and Bosnia Herzegovina) that have also been completely separated, more or less in the same connection, from Turkey. The chief effort here has been to show the actual working Of the forces that have finally added Roumania, Bulgaria, Servia and Montenegro to the family of European nations. I gratefully acknowledge my indebtedness to Professor William M. Sloane and Professor James T. Shotwell, who have aided me with most helpful advice and criticisms.

Excerpt from The Balkans: A History of Bulgaria, Serbia, Greece, Rumania, Turkey The authors Of this volume have not worked in conjunc tion. Widely separated, engaged on other duties, and pressed for time, we have had no opportunity for interchange of views. Each must be held responsible, therefore, for his own section alone. If there be any discrepancies in our writings (it is not unlikely in so disputed a field of history) we can only regret an unfortunate result of the circum stances. Owing to rapid change in the relations Of our country to the several Balkan peoples, the tone of a section written earlier may differ from that Of another written later. It may be well to state that the sections on Serbia and Bulgaria were finished before the decisive Balkan develop ments of the past two months. Those on Greece and Rumania represent only a little later stage of the evolution. That on Turkey, compiled between one mission abroad and another, was the latest to be finished. If our sympathies are not all the same, nor given equally to friends and foes, none of us would find it possible to indite a Hymn of Hate about any Balkan people. Every one of these peoples, on whatever side he be fighting to-day, has a past worthy of more than our respect and interwoven in some intimate way with our history. That any one of them is arrayed against us to-day is not to be laid entirely or chiefly at its own door. They are all fine peoples who have not obtained their proper places in the sun. The best of the Osmanli nation, the Anatolian peasantry, has yet to make its physical and moral qualities felt under civilized conditions. As for the rest - the Serbs and the Bulgars, who have enjoyed brief moments of barbaric glory in their past.

Excerpt from Turkey in Europe Of corruption, so to speak, I added, striving. To make things plain. Exactly, said the Vali, and that will at once be understood as a seditious allusion to the Sublime Ottoman Government. No, it cannot be. And to show that his decision was irrevocable he again assumed his virtuous air, and said, All civilised countries are governed by law, and I am surprised that one who has lived in the Ottoman dominions as long as yourself should suppose that Turkish officials can be induced by hopes of personal advantage to neglect the regulations issued for their guidance. Law and obedience are the foundation of the State. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
