Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Turkish Restoration in Greece, 1718-1797
From the Peace of Passarovitz to the Russian in vasion of the Morea in 1770 Greece enjoyed fully half a century of peace. Venice never again attacked Turkey, and Greece was too far off to be affected by the contests between the Turks and the Austrians and Russians. Two mild Sultans, Ahmed III. And Mahmud I., ruled the Turkish Empire, and the Greek element in the Turkish administration was increasingly important. Greeks sat upon the Wallachian and Moldavian thrones, Greeks held the posts of Dragoman of the Porte and of the Fleet, and it had become politic to treat the Greek population better.
