About this Item

69 pages, 21 lines in rika script, with occasional headings in red ink. 1 vols. 8vo. Unique autograph manuscript by the great Ottoman statesman and reformer Mehmed Emin Ali Pasha (1815-1871). The title translates as "A Report on Agricultural and Development Practices in European Countries, and the Training of Agricultural Workers; Also on the Elimination of Begging and Beggary." The manuscript provides a detailed examination of agricultural practices in Paris, London, and their surrounding rural areas. It discusses the investments made to support farmers, the benefits provided to them, and the resulting urban development. Ali Pasha describes the educational systems of agricultural schools and suggests ways for the Ottoman Empire to adopt modern farming and agricultural techniques. Additionally, the manuscript includes insights into Russian colonization and settlement policies, examining how Russia utilized structured settlement programs to stimulate agricultural productivity and expand its influence. Ali Pasha s analysis of these policies reflects his understanding of colonization as a tool for development and strategic expansion. In addition to these observations, Ali Pasha argues that such agricultural investments and structured programs could eliminate the need for begging, proposing innovative funding methods for these initiatives. This is a translation from European, possibly English sources, with Ali Pasha s comments and suggestions for application in the Ottoman empire. The manuscript ownership note on the first leaf identies this unique manuscript as formerly belonging to Rukiye Suat, daughter of Ali Pasha. Contemporary marbled paper boards in wallet style. Ownership signature "istakrabe l-fakir Rukiye Suat binti Ali Pa?a". Some dampstaining and minor ink adhesions. Spine repaired 69 pages, 21 lines in rika script, with occasional headings in red ink. 1 vols. 8vo.
