LEXTER OF INTRODUCTION AGAIN A PARTY AT PERA
Coming out, I saw the tombs of their chiefs, and bought a print of their funeral ceremonies, rudely lithographed, of which the
accompanying illustration is a faithful copy. I also went into their kitchen. One of their brethren was preparing a mighty pillaff of rice for their refreshment; and Demetri told me that they were all wonderful drinkers. Their possessions at Pera are very valuable ; and, besides this, many of them are in good ways of business as shopkeepers in Stamboul. I suppose, altogether, a greater set of rascals do not exist; and I came away not quite sure as to whether I had ’been most amused or irritated at their performance.
LEXTER OF INTRODUCTION AGAIN A PARTY AT PERA
A day or two after my first failures, I began to think once more of trying to deliver my Turkish letter of introduction, and therefore went again to the Seraglio Court.
On our way we called at the Arms Bazaar, which is only open in the morning. It well repays a visit, for some of the weapons are very picturesque and beautiful, and the people about have a more purely oriental character than in the general bazaars. A great many things were being sold by auction — pipes, swords, and pieces of cloth. The seller held them up in the air, and walked along the passages crying out the last price. The merchants asked outrageous sums, generally speaking, for the arms. The cheapest I saw, were twro long pistols, with elaborate silvered work about them, which 1 could have got for four hundred piastres, (about £4, in round numbers.)
Besides fezzes
I was not more fortunate at the Seraglio than before, with my ill-fated letter. It was sent about in the same manner, and at last I was assured, for certain daily ephesus tours, that the effendi was at the Arsenal. As I had a letter for the chief of the Fez manufactory, up the Golden Horn, this was not much out of my way, so I started forth again, taking a cacique. The manufactory is under the direction of Mr. Langlands, a Scotchman. Besides fezzes, an excellent cloth is made here, in large quantities, and the arrangements for carding, dyeing, weaving, knitting, &e., are complete. The chief steam- engine is from Dundee, and the more delicate machinery from Verviers, in Belgium ; that for knitting the fezzes round their blocks is very beautiful. This is a government factory, but I did not hear that it is a very lucrative affair. The French manufacture the fezzes at a cheaper rate than the Turks, and find a readier sale for them. A real fez, with a heavy purple silk tassel, costs two or three dollars. Those we see in some of the hat shops of London are not the thing. They arc of too bright a color — too poor in – substance; and the flossy tassel is always in a tangle ; every thread of silk should hang parallel and distinct.
As I waited in the Arsenal, I saw a large gang of galley-slaves at work, all chained in pairs; and the vivid description given in Anastatius, of the horrors of the Bagnes at Constantinople, came forcibly to mind. These fellows were more fearful to look at than any criminals I had ever seen. They were of all nations—Turks, Greeks, Xegroes, Arabs, Maltese, and Levantines generally, and filthy beyond expression. They were employed in drawing heavy timber to land, and treated precisely as so many brutes.

These fellows were more fearful to look at than any criminals I had ever seen. They were of all nations—Turks, Greeks, Xegroes, Arabs, Maltese, and Levantines generally, and filthy beyond expression. They were employed in drawing heavy timber to land, and treated precisely as so many brutes.

LEXTER OF INTRODUCTION AGAIN A PARTY AT PERA
Coming out, I saw the tombs of their chiefs, and bought a print of their funeral ceremonies, rudely lithographed, of which the
accompanying illustration is a faithful copy. I also went into their kitchen. One of their brethren was preparing a mighty pillaff of rice for their refreshment; and Demetri told me that they were all wonderful drinkers. Their possessions at Pera are very valuable ; and, besides this, many of them are in good ways of business as shopkeepers in Stamboul. I suppose, altogether, a greater set of rascals do not exist; and I came away not quite sure as to whether I had ’been most amused or irritated at their performance.
LEXTER OF INTRODUCTION AGAIN A PARTY AT PERA
A day or two after my first failures, I began to think once more of trying to deliver my Turkish letter of introduction, and therefore went again to the Seraglio Court.
On our way we called at the Arms Bazaar, which is only open in the morning. It well repays a visit, for some of the weapons are very picturesque and beautiful, and the people about have a more purely oriental character than in the general bazaars. A great many things were being sold by auction — pipes, swords, and pieces of cloth. The seller held them up in the air, and walked along the passages crying out the last price. The merchants asked outrageous sums, generally speaking, for the arms. The cheapest I saw, were twro long pistols, with elaborate silvered work about them, which 1 could have got for four hundred piastres, (about £4, in round numbers.)
Besides fezzes
I was not more fortunate at the Seraglio than before, with my ill-fated letter. It was sent about in the same manner, and at last I was assured, for certain daily ephesus tours, that the effendi was at the Arsenal. As I had a letter for the chief of the Fez manufactory, up the Golden Horn, this was not much out of my way, so I started forth again, taking a cacique. The manufactory is under the direction of Mr. Langlands, a Scotchman. Besides fezzes, an excellent cloth is made here, in large quantities, and the arrangements for carding, dyeing, weaving, knitting, &e., are complete. The chief steam- engine is from Dundee, and the more delicate machinery from Verviers, in Belgium ; that for knitting the fezzes round their blocks is very beautiful. This is a government factory, but I did not hear that it is a very lucrative affair. The French manufacture the fezzes at a cheaper rate than the Turks, and find a readier sale for them. A real fez, with a heavy purple silk tassel, costs two or three dollars. Those we see in some of the hat shops of London are not the thing. They arc of too bright a color — too poor in – substance; and the flossy tassel is always in a tangle ; every thread of silk should hang parallel and distinct.
As I waited in the Arsenal, I saw a large gang of galley-slaves at work, all chained in pairs; and the vivid description given in Anastatius, of the horrors of the Bagnes at Constantinople, came forcibly to mind. These fellows were more fearful to look at than any criminals I had ever seen. They were of all nations—Turks, Greeks, Xegroes, Arabs, Maltese, and Levantines generally, and filthy beyond expression. They were employed in drawing heavy timber to land, and treated precisely as so many brutes.
