| Transcriber's note: |
| |
| Turkish names seem to be spelled generally in French, |
| which was the Lingua Franca of the period. These have |
| not been corrected. The correct Turkish spellings of |
| some of these names are given at the end of the book. |

"You have nothing to do, but transcribe your little red books, if they
are not rubbed out; for I conclude you have not trusted every thing to
memory, which is ten times worse than a lead pencil. Half a word fixed
on or near the spot, is worth a cart load of recollection."
