Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Revolution in Constantinople and Turkey: A Diary When taking the train for Constantinople, I resolved to keep a record of what I saw and heard in events that seemed likely to be historical; and day by day, in train or steamer, cab or Club, the diary was written. It is reproduced here, improved in expression, but unchanged in meaning. I have not corrected reports that proved incorrect, and anticipations that were falsified in the issue. They were generally believed at the time when they were set down; and my intention is to give a picture of the fears and conduct of the unknown crowd in an uncertain situation as well as to record the judgment expressed by well-informed authorities whom we had the opportunity of meeting. The picture must appear confused, but it could not be true to fact otherwise, for hopes and apprehension chased one another, and emotions varied from hour to hour. Additions made subsequently to prevent error are placed within brackets. It is my object not to set down opinions of my own, but to record impartially those of others - stating only our reasons for persisting, against weighty advice, in our plans of travel in Asiatic Turkey.
