From the author's argument, we further learn that Europe must own to one teetotaller--the Turk: his deficiencies in literary or any other kind of productions are pointed out as incontestable evidence of what want of the bowl can do. Copious citations from Milton and the Bible lend to his discourse the austerity properly pertinent to the throne of Professor of English Literature at Cambridge: occupied, incidentally, by the same...

The recovery of Turkish territory lost in Thrace and Asia Minor is the aim of both the Sultan's government on the Bosphorus...
