A Story of Constantinople and the Caucasus.

BOSTON:
1851.



PUBLISHER's NOTE.--The following Novelette was originally published
in THE PICTORIAL DRAWING ROOM COMPANION, and is but a specimen of
the many deeply entertaining Tales, and the gems of literary merit,
which grace the columns of that elegant and highly popular journal.
THE COMPANION embodies a corps of contributors of rare literary
excellence, and is regarded as the ne plus ultra, by its scores of
thousands of readers.



PREFACE.


The following story relates to that exceedingly interesting and
romantic portion of the world bordering on the Black Sea, the Sea of
Marmora, and the Bosphorus. The period of the story being quite
modern, its scenes are a transcript of the present time in the city
of the Sultan. The peculiarities of Turkish character are of the
follower of Mahomet, as they appear to-day; and the incidents
depicted are such as have precedents daily in the oriental capital.
Leaving the tale to the kind consideration of the reader, the author
would not fail to express his thanks for former indulgence and
favor.
