Turkey

This work by Stanley Lane-Poole, British archaeologist and orientalist, was originally published in 1888. This particular book is on the history of Turkey, beginning in the thirteenth century, and outlining its development up to the late nineteenth century. It is complete with illustrations, and includes chapters on 'Kosovo and Nocopolis', 'Timor the Tartar', 'The Conquest of Egypt', 'The Fall of Constantinople', 'Ottoman Literature', and much more. This is a fantastic work written by an accomplished historian of the nineteenth century. To compliment the republication of this work, a brand new introductory biography of the author has been added.
