Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Last Cæsars of Byzantium I offer to the public a volume which may derive interest from the present attitude of Russia and Turkey in regard to each other, and from the great russian-turkish question which now claims the attention of every European Government. It con tains a simple narrative of the events which agitated the Byzantine empire, from the accession of the Palaeologi to the conquest of Greece by the Otto mans. I have endeavored to trace, together with the rapid progress of the Turks, the decline of the Greeks, whilst province after province is subj ugated, and one by one cities are snatched from their grasp, until at last the fall of the capital dealt the fatal blow to that power which had ruled for so many centuries.
