Book excerpt: Excerpt from Turkey and the Turks IT is not pretended that this volume justifies its title in the sense that it is a full and comprehensive account of "Turkey and the Turks." For example, the subject of folklore and popular superstitions is untouched. Indeed, it would be an impertinence to intrude upon that field after the exhaustive studies in works like those of Miss Lucy Garnett. Only so much history is introduced as the author has judged necessary to the understanding of the growth of the nation. Contemporary politics are eschewed. Political speculations may be found in abundance elsewhere, for the majority of writers on Turkey have a political axe to grind, with the necessary consequence that few judgments are unbiased. All that is claimed for what is here set down is that it tries to be true. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
