IN TURKEY

After looking through the literature
in these bOOkShOpS which is not writ

does not fail to believe that revival
of literature Is certainly impending IN
Turkey. Possibly even hystdn1ers ma
find means of fostering its development
Where, as in that country writer's have
not knowledge adequate to their equip
ment, and are still cropping for subjects
harmonizing with the needs Of the prO-
pie, such a revival of liteTat ure must
be greatly influenced from abroad. The
modern bookshops OF COnstdntlnople
contain many French works. Tnay Of
fer in Greek numbers OF works from the
best publishers of Athens. In Anne
Man they give to those who can mas
ter the musty mOnkish dialect and pay
the rather heavy cost, a considerable
series Of useful books from the Arme-
man monastery presses of Venice and
Vienna. The American mission at Con-
stantinOple, too, publishes some works
that are widely read. II does not limit
its attention to religious works but Is
sues schoolbooks, and, so far as its
rather limited means allow, BOOKS Of
general Interest,". II is a warm ally Of
all who strive for a literary style Intel
ligible to the common people: ana the
weight of its influence is considerab bic
since it uses as far as possible the ia
Tents OF native authors, and has IN
equaled facilities for bringing it's rub
lications before the people OF every Tro-
