Travels into Turkey

Travels into Turkey: Containing the most accurate account of the Turks, and neighbouring nations, their manners, customs, religion, superstition, policy, riches, coins, &c. The whole being a series of remarkable observations and events, interspers’d with great variety of entertaining incidents, never before printed.

Took great Delight in procuring rare Plants, and studying the Nature of Animals; made himself perfect Master of the Turkish State, Policy, &c. That the Account he composed of his Journey, is a very good Work, and deserves the Approbation of all good Judges; the Learned Sadelerius, in his Edition of it, Printed at Mons, asserts it deserves a Thousand Impressions. The Celebrated Thuanus owns he transcribed many Things out of it to insert in his History, and likewise gives a great Character of the Author and his Work. In short, as we have no good Account of that Country and People, an English Version, ’tis presum’d, will be agreeable to the Public.
