FOREWORD
T a time when some profess to believe
that a " new " Turkey is emerging
from the wdter
of
war and massacre and
ruin in the Near East, my friend Mr. H. D.
Barnham, C.M.G., whom I first met more
than forty
.years
ago at Constantinople on
the threshold of his long career in the Levant
COnsular Service, has, not inopportunely,
produced an English replica of the homely
pieture of the Turk by a Turk which still
enjoys, in the quaint tales of Nasr-ed-Din
Khoja, an absolutely unique popularity in
Turkey itself.
It is not of course a picture of the ruling
Turk, black-coated with a
W~stern
veneer,
as he learnt to posture at the Porte and at
Yeldiz Kiosk or more recently at Angora and
at Lausanne, but of the primitive and much
more piCturesque Turk- simple-minded
and blissfully ignorant, patient and plod-
ding, gifted with a broad sense of humour,
