Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Essays Eastern Questions To expect that the collection of a few Essays from the scattered periodicals in which they originally appeared, and their republication in a more condensed form, can have any material effect towards removing erroneous ideas, or substituting exacter ones, about the Mahometan East of our own times, would be presumptuous indeed. Yet even these writings may in a measure contribute to so desirable a result; for correct appreciations are, like incorrect ones, formed not at once but little by little: true knowledge is a construction, not a monolith. These Essays, taken together, form a sketch, mostly outline, part filled in, of the living East, as included within the Asiatic limits of the Ottoman Empire. Now, as for centuries past, the central figure of that picture is Islam, based on the energies of Arabia and the institutions of Mahomet, propped up by the memories of Chaliphs, and the power of Sultans; and, though somewhat disguised by the later incrustations of Turanian superstition, still retaining the chief lineaments, and not little of the stability and strength, of its former days.
