Excerpt from Turcs Et Monténégrins
Au fond de la baie de Cattaro, entre l'Albanie et l'Herzegovine, s'élève un groupe d'âpres montagnes dominant toute la contrée environnante. Ce groupe a reçu de ses habitants le nom slave de Tsernogora. c'est-à-dire de montagne noire, traduit par les Grecs en Mavro-Vouni, par les Turcs en Kara-Dagh, par les Albanais en Mal-Esija, et par les Vénitiens en Monténégro; c'est sous cette dernière appellation qu'il est le plus généralement connu dans l'Occident. Au sein de ces montagnes habite une population peu nombreuse, mais brave et aguerrie, longtemps oubliée de l'Europe, et qui, depuis quelques années, attire ses regards et son intérêt.
