Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Residence at Constantinople, Vol. 1 of 2: During a Period Including the Commencement, Progress, and Termination of the Greek and Turkish Revolutions During my first residence in Turkey I was in the habit of detailing to friends at home, at their special request, the various passing events of that very interesting period, and just at the time they occurred. The partiality of my correspondents attached more importance to my communications than they merited - they preserved my letters with a view which I never had in contemplation when they were written, and on my return they requested me to revise and publish them. I did so with such as were connected with an event in which the public were much interested - the advance of the Russians to Constantinople, as I had then just passed over the ground through which they were preparing to march.
