Light foxing to opening and closing leaves, rest of interior clean and fresh.

Mrs. Grey?s observations lend the account the distinct perspective of a woman with a focus on the dress, interactions, and treatment of women in Constantinople. Along with the Price and Princess of Wales, Mrs. Grey dined with the Sultan at ?Dolma-Batchi? [Dolmabahçe Palace] which is related as the first time the sultan ate with women or allowed anyone to be seated in his presence: ?We were twenty-four at table, but twelve of the party were Turks, and looked so frightened and astonished that nobody ventured to speak a word? Also includes an account between the Princess of Wales and the wife and mother of the Sultan along with the presentation of the Sultan?s young son and daughter ?a European is hardly ever allowed to visit [the Harem] at Constantinople, and I think they told us it was fifteen years since such a thing had been allowed?
