Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The History of the World, Vol. 3 of 8: A Survey of Man's Record; West Asia and Africa
Homes of an ancient and mighty but long-vanished civilization. This tendency was well expressed, after too optimistic a fashion it is true, in the remarkable preamble to the Hattisherif of Culhane more than sixty years ago: If we but consider the geographical location of Turkish Asia, the fertility of its soil, the skill and intelligence of its inhabitants, we may feel assured that if only the effort be made to discover the right means, the goal which with the help of God we are striving to attain will, in the course of a few years, be reached.
