Стр. 195 - As soon as he stopped at a caravansera, he immediately called lustily about him in the name of the Sultan, demanding, with an imperious and menacing tone of voice, fresh horses, victuals, &c. on the instant. The terror of this great man operated like magic ; nothing could exceed the activity of the men, the briskness of the women, and the terror of the children ; for the...
Стр. 136 - ... which is arched, and serves for warehouses to store goods, for lodgings, and for stables, while the upper is used merely for lodgings ; besides which they are always accommodated with a fountain, and have cooks' shops and other conveniences to supply the wants of lodgers. In Aleppo, the caravanserais are almost exclusively occupied by merchants, to whom they are, like other houses, rented.
Стр. 194 - ... the state ; while the great men whose business they are employed in, make them feel the weight of authority, and treat them with the greatest contempt : hence they become habitually...
Стр. 221 - It was still the hot season of the year, and we were to travel through that country, over which the horrid wind I have before mentioned sweeps its consuming blasts : it is called by the Turks samiel, is mentioned by holy Job under the name of the East Wind, and extends its ravages all the way from the extreme end o'f the Gulph of...
