Abstract

Turkey and Its People
September 5, 1912 issue

add to cart   close window

This article focuses on the book "Turkey and Its People," by Edwin Pears. When Pears passes to Asia, his certainty of knowledge in some measure fails him. The Greeks of the islands and the coasts he still thoroughly understands. But on the little, peoples and sects his touch is less firm. And with this same weakness is touched his whole treatment of the Turks themselves. It is time that writers on the East should realize that as thorough if not as long an education is needed if they are to understand its peoples as now enable them speedily to see their way through the institutions of any European country.
