עמוד 399 - The smallpox, so fatal and so general amongst us, is here entirely harmless by the invention of ingrafting, which is the term they give it. There is a set of old women who make it their business to perform the operation every autumn, in the month of September, when the great heat is abated. People send to one another to know if any of their family has a mind to have the smallpox.
עמוד 399 - Every year thousands undergo this operation; and the French ambassador says pleasantly, that they take the small-pox here by way of diversion, as they take the waters in other countries.
עמוד 400 - Tis true their magnificence is of a very different taste from ours, and perhaps of a better. I am almost of opinion they have a right notion of life. They consume it in music, gardens, wine, and delicate eating, while we are tormenting our brains with some scheme of politics, or studying some science to which we can never attain, or, if we do, cannot persuade other people to set that value upon it we do ourselves.
עמוד 148 - ... fritters also, which were made of like batter ; and mutton besides, or rather a dainty and toothsome morsel of an old sodden ewe. The table (if there had any such been) thus furnished, the guests without any ceremony of washing sat down on the ground (for stools there were none) and fell to their victual, and drank out of great earthen dishes water prepared with sugar, which kind of drink they call zerbet (sherbet).
עמוד 148 - ... one side of the chamber, and the Embassadors on the right hand on the other side standing likewise and uncovered. The Dragomans were in another part of the chamber near the place where the Sultan sat, gorgeously attired in a robe of cloth of gold all embroidered with jewels, when, as the Embassador's followers by one and one brought before him (as is aforesaid) and kneeling on the ground, a Turk standing on his right hand, with all reverence taking up the hem of his garment, gave it them in their...
עמוד 411 - Huntchagist bands, organized all over the Empire, will watch their opportunities to kill Turks and Kurds, set fire to their villages, and then make their escape into the mountains. The enraged Moslems will then rise and fall upon the defenceless Armenians, and slaughter them with such barbarities, that Russia will enter, in the name of humanity and Christian civilization, and take possession.
עמוד 340 - ... impatient sultan perceived, with astonishment and grief, that his wooden turret had been reduced to ashes: the ditch was cleared and restored, and the tower of St. Romanus was again strong and entire. He deplored the failure of his design, and uttered a profane exclamation, that the word of the thirty-seven thousand prophets should not have compelled him to believe that such a work, in so short a time, could have been accomplished by the infidels.
עמוד 148 - Turkish Empire), stood there apparelled in damask velvet and cloth of gold, and garments of silk of sundry kinds of colours ; their pomp was greater, for the turbants that they wore upon their heads being as white as whiteness itself, made a most brave and goodly show well worth the beholding. In brief, whether they were to be considered all at once, or in particular, as well for the order that they kept as for their sumptuous presence, altogether without noise or rumour ; they made the Embassadors...
עמוד 147 - Solaches (Solaks) set in a goodly rank, which arc the archers, keeping always near to the prison of the Great Turk, and serving as his footmen when he rideth ; they use high plumes of feathers, which are set bolt upright over their foreheads. In another place there stood the Capitzi (Kapuji) in array, with black staves of Indian canes in their hands ; they are the porters and warders of the gates of the palace, not much differing in their attire from the Janissaries, who stood in rank likewise in...
עמוד 148 - ... from another about five paces, in a little room, which nevertheless was passing delicate, all curiously painted over with divers colours, and stood between the gate and the more inner lodgings. On both sides of which room, when all things else were in a deep silence, certain little birds only were heard to warble out their sweet notes, and to flicker up and down the green trees of the gardens, which all along cast a pleasant shadow from them. Selymus himself was in great majesty set in an under...
