Цитата:
In 1856, the Autor, moved by the political events of the time, had prepared an "English and Turkish Dictionary, in two parts, English and Turkish, and Turkish and English" giving the pronunciation and accentuation of the Turkish words in European characters,
besides their orthography in the Oriental letters.
That Dictionary having been written for the use of English officers and others who might be led to commence the study of Turkish, no special facilities were offered in its arrangement to Turks who might become desirous of studying English.
But, almost before the work could be completed, the state of affairs which had called it into existence had become altered. The British fleets and armies left Turkey; the "Turkish Contingent" was dissolved; the book threatened to become a burden on the publisher's hands; and all chance of a demand for the preparation of a more complete Lexicon of the two languages seemed to have vanished.
