Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Sultan and His Subjects, Vol. 2 of 2 But the atmosphere of Constantinople is so diaphanous, and its sunshine so brilliant, that sur prising effects are constantly produced, changing even the ugly outer shell of Sancta Sophia into a thing of beauty. From the Sea of Marmara its appearance is superb, incorporated as it seems to be with the otherwise commonplace modern Palace of Justice a long white stucco building in classical style, which, from this point, appears to form a pedestal to support the dome, and its double pair of snowy minarets.
