First sentence: This book is a study of the Ottoman bankruptcy, that is of the process of external borrowing by the Sultan's government during the two decades or so following the Crimean War which culminated in the defaults of 1875-76, and of the aftermath down to the establishment of the Public Debt Administration in 1881.
