- ‘The Capitulations. What they are, and what effect their abolition will have upon the status of British subjects in Turkey, upon their interests, their liberties and upon British trade generally.’
- Scope & Content:
-
A copy of a memorandum, submitted on behalf of the non-official British community in Constantinople [Istanbul], and printed and published by Page & Thomas Limited, London. The capitulations referred to in the volume’s title were grants made by successive Sultans of the Ottoman Empire to other nations (including Britain), that conferred rights and privileges upon the subjects of those nations living or trading in the Ottoman dominions.
The volume includes a definition of the capitulations, with paragraphs marked with pencil annotations in the margin (author unknown) describing their impact on trade, judicial matters, educational establishments, banks, public debt, customs tariffs, insurance, and war reparations. The volume also contains nine annexes, including: the text of the abrogation of the Capitulations, 1914; a description of the present civil and criminal judicial systems in Turkey; a description of the first commercial court in Constantinople, and its functions under the Capitulations; a description of a proposed reformation to the Turkish judiciary; and a description of insurance laws in Turkey.
