ABSTRACT
Tarikh-I-Enderun, that is, a history of the Imperial Household of Turkey under Sultan Mahmud II , Constantinople. This gives an account of what to the Turkish Court Chronicler, and doubtless to Mahmud himself, seemed the most important events of the reign. Few authorities are quoted for Greece, Servia, the Principalities, Syria and Egypt, as the form special problems in themselves and were separated in name or fact from Mahmud’s rule. General impressions of the reign are to be inferred from or formed in the following contemporary works: Charles White, as mentioned. R. Walsh: A residence at Constantinople contains authentic details as to Mahmud and some of his chief agents. Charles Macfarlane: Constantinople in 1828 useful though slight and not always accurate.
