Excerpt from The Turkish Problem: Things Seen and a Few Deductions Some British friends - experts in Eastern questions, who have lived many years in the East and learnt the languages and moods of the men of the East - have expressed the view that it would not be inexpedient to publish an English translation of this book, deeming it, in their kind indulgence, a truthful picture of the mosaic of nations and creeds constituting Turkey, that main factor in the Eastern Question, which more than ever towers above the political horizon. With regard to English readers, the book, however, calls for a few preliminary words. It was originally conceived as a purely French book, designed exclusively for the French general public. That unavoidably narrow French frame could include nothing but such instances of French work and French interests in Turkey as would easily appeal to the addressed readers.
