The City of the Sulian and Domestic Manners of Tur Turks in 1836
A literary review discusses Miss Pardoe's two volume travel work on the Ottoman Empire, praising her vivid scenes of Constantinople and St Sophia, the harem of the palace, and the Georgian Devleh Hanoum, while noting the dangers of visiting mosques and the author’s impression of Turk life as it blends grandeur with decay. It also touches on steam communication with India and a critique of contemporary magazines.
