THREE YEARS IN CONSTANTINOPLE ; OR,DOMESTIC
MANNERS OF THE TURKS ; BY CHARLES WHITE, Esc/.
—Notwithstanding all that has been written respecting
Constantinople, it will be acknowledged at all hands
that this is by far the most elaborate and highly finished
picture of Turkish life that has yet appeared. Mr.
White takes his reader by the hand, and- leads him at
once into the Bezestans, the Tcharshy, the Khavekhans ;
points out the most remarkable and interesting objects
that meet the eye ; gives detailed descriptions of the
manners, customs, and habits of this singular race of
beings ; and, in short, is in every respect au admirable
cicerone. lie also strews through his pages an amusing
and ever-changing fund of anecdote, which is alway.s
happily illustrative of the object or custom which he IS
describing. To travellers in the East his directions will
be found invaluable.—Morning Post.
