Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Cyprus: Compiled in the Intelligence Branch, Quartermaster-General's Department, Horse Guards
The geological description is chie?y derived from the works of Albert Caudry, Dr. Unger, and Dr. Kotschy, but the thanks of the compiler are also due to Professor Rupert Jones, who kindly gave most valuable assistance in clearing up ambiguous points, and reconciling apparently con?icting statements in the works of the above authors.
The chapters upon Natural History, Agriculture, Trade, and Revenue, have been compiled not only from the writings of travellers, but, in a very great measure, from the Reports annually furnished by Her Majesty's Consuls. The General and Statistic Report of vice-consul White, dated March 1863, is a most valu able paper, and has been largely used in this compilation. The consular reports indicate in the clearest possible manner the various causes which, under the Turkish administration, have year by year in?uenced the harvests, trade, revenue, and the general prosperity of the island; the information given on these subjects cannot but be of value to all who are interested or concerned in the future welfare of Cyprus.
