About this title

Synopsis

Turkey And The Christian Powers. Reprinted From The Appendix To The Author's “Photo The Suliote.” by David Richard Morier is a historical-political treatise dating to 1876 that reprints material from the Appendix to the tale “Photo the Suliote” (first published 1857) and examines the Eastern Question in the context of the Ottoman Empire. Morier discusses how Mahometans view Christianity and the role of Protestant missions, notably the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions, in shaping religious demographics and colonial-era diplomacy. He highlights the formal recognition of a Protestant community by the Turkish government, the distinction Turks make between Protestantism and Christianity, and the potential political and social consequences of evangelizing Turks, including implications for reform, governance, and balance among European powers. The work argues that British influence should support reform through prudent consular presence, economic modernization, and a moral framework, viewing such efforts as beneficial to Turkey's future and to broader European interests.
