| Summary | "The City of the Sultan; and Domestic Manners of the Turks, in 1836" by Miss Pardoe is a historical travel account written in the early 19th century. This work chronicles the author's observations and experiences while exploring the culture, landscape, and people of Turkey, particularly focusing on the city of Broussa and the broader Ottoman Empire. The narrative is likely to delve into the customs, architecture, and daily life of Turks during that time. The opening portion introduces the author's departure for Broussa, highlighting the picturesque journey aboard a boat and her reflections on the sights encountered along the way. As they arrive at Moudania, she describes the dimly lit coastal town and the traditional customs involved in navigating through the local customs house. The narrative captures not only the beauty of the surroundings but also the author's curious engagement with the local culture, noting details such as the significance of the word "backshich" (a form of tipping in Turkey) and the customs of the people she meets.
