Ebook: The structure of the Ottoman dynasty

In the pages of this book an attempt has been made to present the genealogy of the Ottoman Dynasty in as detailed a manner as possible and to establish the principles which governed the mutual relations of its various members. It is a study which has been prolonged by continual interruptions and which, because of inherent limitations can never be complete; but it is felt that sufficient progress has been made to justify publication. The way in which it came to be written is told in the Introduction. Here I would like to set out the names of those who, in many different ways, have helped in its writing.
