Description
Excerpt from Told in the Coffee House: Turkish Tales
Two of these tales have been taken from the Armenian, and were received from Dr. K. Ohannassian of Constantinople. For one, 771: Merciful Klzcm, I am indebted to Mr. George Kennan. None of them has been translated from any book or manuscript, and all are, as nearly as practicable, in the form in which they are usually narrated. Most of the stories have been'collected by Mr. Allan Ramsay, who, by a long residence in Constantinople, has had special opportunities for learning to know the modern Turk. It is due to him, however, to say that for the style and editing he is in no wise responsible, and that all sins of omission and commission must be laid at my door.
