BY

VICTORIA DE BUNSEN

With 8 Illustrations

''Demy 8vo, 10s. 6d. net''

Morning Post.—"The most delightful books are those which either depict the characters of men and women, or those which reveal the personality of the writer. Mrs De Bunsen's account of her travels in the Near East combines both these charms."

Westminster Gazette.—"'The Soul of a Turk' is an interesting, well-written book."

Evening Standard.—"Mrs De Bunsen's volume must have a niche all to itself in the great library built up by travellers in Turkey. It does actually fulfil the promise of its title."

Daily Telegraph.—"It is an admirable and suggestive piece of portraiture."

Spectator.—"For insight and sympathy with the Oriental mind, we have not read anything better than these pages for a long time. We thoroughly commend this book to every one who enjoys following the travels of a plucky, entertaining, and exceptionally intelligent woman."

Athenæum.—"This delightful book is no mere collection of 'ritual acts.' It is full of shrewd observations on the people."

Observer.—"Mrs De Bunsen's book is no ordinary book of travel, but really a very suggestive and thoughtful treatise on the faiths and customs of the Eastern Turks, illuminated with a woman's sympathy."
