Hermann Moritz Ungewitter: Turkije en het Turksche Rijk: zijnde een geschied- en aardrijkskundig overzigt van dat rijk in zijne deelen en onderhoorigheden in Europa, Azië en Afrika.Tiel, 1854 First Dutch edition, large 8vo, contemporary plain boards rebaked, back cover with slight loss at down corner, complete 316p., one folding map and a portrait, text clean and bright, overall in very good condition. Ungewitter presented a very comprehensive account on the Ottoman Levant of the mid 19th century. He sought to create a total statistical and geographical picture. He broke the empire down by eyelets (provinces), providing data on population, religion, trade, and climate. He provides hard numbers on the Ottoman military strength and revenue. He presents a detailed ethnographic map in text form, documenting the friction and coexistence between Turks, Greeks, Armenians, Jews, and Slavs. A very balanced presentation, very rich in details from primary sources not yet exploited at that time.
