The chief secretary of the Holy Synod read him the canon of election. The Archbishop of Caesarea gave him the pastoral staff...
...full glory of ancient pomp Caliph Abdul Medjid crossed the Bosporus in a fourteen-oared caïque painted with a frieze of flowers and arabesques, its carved gilt prow sur- mounted by a silver image of a strange bird. The occasion was the first Selamlik-official service at a mosque-held in Scutari (opposite Constantinople) by the Caliph...
