TURKEY ; ITS HISTORT AND PROGRESS : From the
Journals of Sir James Porter, British Ambassador at
Constantinople ; Continued to the Present Time. By
Sir George Dupont, Bart., 2 vols.—" This highly in-
teresting work consists of two distinct parts. The first
volume, after a memoir of Sir James Porter, proceeds to
give a general description of the Turkish empire, of its
natural and industrial productions and its commerce, a
sketch of its history from the invasion of Europe to the
reign of Sultan Mahmud 11., and as account of the re-
ligion and the civil institutions of the Turks, and of their
manners and customs, chiefly from the data supplied by
the papers of Sir James Porter. In the second volume
we are made acquainted with Turkey as it is ; the reli-
gious and civil movernment of Turkey, its Legislature,
the state of eluation in the empire, its finances, its mi-
litary and naval strength, and the social oonditioa of the
Turks, are all in succession brought under review. The
work gives a fuller and more life-like picture c f the pre•
sent state of the Ottoman empire than any other work
with•which we are acquainted."—John
