Book excerpt: Excerpt from Constantinople and Its Environs, Vol. 2 of 2: In a Series of Letters, Exhibiting the Actual State of the Manners, Customs, and Habits of the Turks, Armenians, Jews, and Greeks, as Modified by the Policy of Sultan Mahmoud IT appears to me to be a long time since I have given you any of my hieroglyphics to decipher, but the fact is, I have not been able to write, not that I have been sick, but that I have not been well. I have been just in that state when a man is fit for nothing under heaven, that I know of, except to sleep and lounge about. I have been bilious, and had not the courage to take the proper medicine. A slight sickness of the stomach, a dull stupid feeling in the head, an absolute laziness of body and mind. To tell the truth, I believe I have had the blue devils. Were you ever troubled in that way.l It is abominable, and serves only to reconcile one to death. If I had been in England, I should have hanged myself, or done something equally ridicu lous.
