To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
of the authors of Greece and Rome assumed a Turkish dress. A Turkish version of Plutarch's Lives, made by command of Mohammed IL, is known to have existed: the Commentaries of Caesar became accessible to the Osmanlis in the reign of Soliman I. ; and Aristotle and Euclid are also found in their language. These works are known to have been translated into Turkish ; but it cannot be supposed that they were the only monuments of classical antiquity that attracted the attention of these enlightened ...princes ; and it is not even now impossible that some of the long-lost fragments of classic literature may yet be recovered from the versions of the Osmanlis. Even in mo- dern times they have not failed to procure transla- tions from the works of various European nations* The Sultan, Mustapha III., introduced the ' Prince' of Machiavel to the Osmanlis; not, however, omitting, at the same time, to annex its refutation — the * Anti-Machiavel' of the King of Prussia.
Krusinski's Journal, the Works of Boerhaave, our English Sydenham, Bonnycastle, Vauban, Lafitte, Truquet, Lalande, and a translation of some un- published manuscripts of Cassini, the astronomer, presented by his son to the Turkish ambassador, are found on the shelves of the public libraries of Constantinople, and many of them have been thought worthy of being submitted to the Imperial Press.
