ft iust v piMicJUiai ^ urable practice in trade , and you credit theia without ^ cru pie , nay , rather than some Chrtstians . 'J * All the people of the East , except the Mahometans , as Montesquieof thnugbt , look upon all relig h ) ns i tu-th vms ^ eLyes as i n d i ffere n t , and amongst the Calmucks the
admission of every kind of religion is ^ poi nt of conscience . The truth is , the Mahometans themsehes , whether originally from climate or otherwise , notwithstanding great apparent steadiness in their own , failh y ^ are perfectly tolerant in tbeir * practice ; and I
cannot help supposing that they entertain very charitable notions onlfoif head , for h recollect a persorf of authority , to whom one of us iiad introduced our Albanian attendant Der ? i » b , with the recortaendatitm thafehe was a Mussulfcaff | \ ofe $ 3 rvit 7 gihat he did not

generality of the Turks are at the ^ ame time exceedingly attentive to
all the forms prescribed by their law , and perform their religions
duties without either affectation or levity , 'f he obligation to external piefy is not confined to the priesthood . They pray in the streets and in their open shops at Constantinople , iio"tfor the sake of
ostentation , since every one is equally pious , but to perform a portion of their civil duties . Ofi the same principle , no one , whatever may be his private opinions .
utters any sentiments disrespectful to the faith . Such a levity would be sedition , and a crime against the representative of the prophet £ for the Sultan is the Vicar of
of Mahomet , and is the supreme head of the government , which is not less a theocracy than the ancient Jewish monarchy . It has been established beyond
doubt , by the writer who , in my humble judgment , has given thfe truest and most satisfactory account of the Turkish government , I mean Mr . Thornton , that t&e Ulema , or ministers of the Mahol
metan law , at whose head is the Mufti , do not assume or exercise a power paramount to that of the Sultan , however they may hav& been resorted to , in order to sanction the imperial edicts , or to Join with the Janissaries ^ or general voice of the people , in
deposing a cruel or ( incapable prince . * The Mufti , who has been likened to the Popes or patri nix fits of the Christian sects , but is ih faVt more similar to tlie : Ponttfex * Maximus * . ¦ . f-irv , . ' f fii ., n ¦ , /] t . . ' . id f > ¦ i . . ' lj .
