Excerpt from The East: Being a Narrative of Personal Impressions of a Tour in Egypt, Palestine, and Syria

At present any new book on the East will naturally be looked upon as got up in view of the existing excitement on the subject of the "Turkish Atrocities." Hence a few lines of preface may be necessary.

This book was originally written more than a year ago, and was in the publishers" hands before the Bulgarian massacres were made public; but I have since had time to add a Chapter and several Notes still farther illustrating Turkish character, as well as Mahomedan domestic, religious, and political life.
