Beschreibung

xxiv, 318 pp., [1], contemporary quarter-calf with hard boards, gilt title and decoration on flat spine, errata, speckled outer edges, occasional spotting, otherwise copy in very good condition. The BNC cites a ?Nouvelle Edition? dated 1822. Juchereau left France during the Revolution and entered the services of the Porte. He was stationed at Constantinople as ?inspecteur en chef du genie militaire?, where he gained the confidence of Selim III and was charged with directing the fortifications of the Ottoman Empire during the Anglo-Russian hostilities in 1807. He here describes the revolutions of 1807 & 1808 which cost Selim and Mustafa IV their lives and resulted in Mahmoud II becoming emperor - the so-called ?destroyer of the Janisaries?. Juchereau returned to France after Selim?s death. He served in Corfu in 1816, and in 1828 he was the French government agent to Greece. It was he who administered the first French loan to the Greeks, and his valuable reports are to be found in the archives of the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs. He also wrote Histoire de L?Empire Ottoman depuis 1792 jusqu?en 1844. Blackmer 892, Atabey 626.#32002.
