Tarih meraklılarının, şimdiye değin öğrendiklerinden başka ve saray dedikodularının ötesinde pek bir şey öğrenemeyeceği bir kitap. Kitabın 1888'de, yani bilginin şimdiki gibi evrenselleşmediği bir dönemde yazılmış olması, yazarın yaptığı-yazdığı-önerdiği tarihsel olarak doğru olmayan iddiaların varlığını hoşgörebilmenize sebep olabiliyor. Bunun dışında kitap, Osmanlı'ya dönemin İngiliz bakışı hakkında fikir edinmenize de yardımcı oluyor. Yazarın Osmanlı'yı kurtaracak yegane güç olarak İngiliz emperyalizmini görmesi, Türkiyeli bir okurun midesini bulandırmaya yetiyor, maalesef...
Genç çevirmenin ilk çeviri deneyimi olmasına rağmen gayet başarılı bir iş çıkardığının altını çizmekte fayda olduğunu düşünüyorum.

I read the 1881 version of this book. A book written when ottoman empire still existed. Should not be read as a first resource. There are some minor mistakes.
