Summary: "Lettre de M. L'abbé Fortis à Mylord Comte de Bute, sur les moeurs et usages des Morlaques" by an unknown author is a historical account likely written in the late 18th century. The book explores the customs, morals, and origins of the Morlaques, also known as Montenegrins, detailing their social structures, lifestyles, and interactions with surrounding cultures. It aims to provide an empathetic perspective on a people often misrepresented as savage and inhumane. The beginning of this work introduces the author's defense of the Morlaques against prevalent stereotypes, arguing that negative portrayals arise from misunderstandings and past conflicts. The author expresses his intention to offer an impartial account based on his observations, starting with a discussion of the Morlaques' origins and linguistic ties to other Slavic peoples. He outlines the diversity within the Morlaque population and hints at the complex historical migrations that shaped their identity. The text sets a reflective tone, emphasizing the need to understand the humanity and character of the Morlaques, inviting the reader to reconsider preconceived notions of this unique group.
