Excerpt from Histoire de la Turquie, Vol. 2: Revue, Corrig???e Et Continu???e Jusqu'en 1856 S???lim est le premier des sultans ottomans qui se soit trouv??? tout ??? fait indigne du tr???ne; il commence la s???rie des princes fain???ants dont la nullit??? personnelle a puissamment contribu??? ??? la chute de l'empire. D???s sa premi???re jeunesse, il s'???tait abruti par l'usage immod???r??? du vin, et, lorsqu'il ???tait gouverneur de Ma gn???sie, on le d???signait d???j??? par le surnom d'ivrogne. Paresseux et l???che, il avait toujours pr???f???r??? le repos du harem aux fatigues de la guerre; sa petite taille charg???e d'emhonpoint, son teint enlu'min???, sa physionomie insignifi'ante, en faisaient un vivant embl???me de la d???cadence de la nation; il eut heureusementle bon esprit d'abandonner tous les soins du gouvernement au vizir mohammed-sokolli, qui conserva les traditions politiques du grand r???gne et maintint la dignit??? de l'empire dans ses relations ext??? rieures. La d???cadence ne devint visible qu'apr???s sa mort. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at ...
