Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
Excerpt from Letters From the Scenes of the Recent Massacres in Armenia The moderate tone of the letters was necessary, too, in a country where correspondence was continually in danger of being intercepted by the authorities; but it must not be assumed that we have told more than a fraction of the misery which we have seen, or reported more than a very small fraction of the horrors of which we have heard.

OUR LAST DAY IN MALATIA: A BUSY CROWD -- SELECTING FIFTY ORPHANS OUT OF FIFTEEN HUNDRED--DEPARTURE--GOODNESS OF SOME MOSLEMS--THE ZAPTIEHS--JOURNEY BACK TO HARPOOT BEGUILED BY HYMNS -- WELCOME AT HARPOOT--PLANS FOR VAN. Harpoot, August 19, 1896. Dear Friends, --In our last joint circular from Malatia you heard of E.'s departure. I can now report his safe journey as far as Marsovan, and no doubt very soon, almost as soon as this reaches you, he will be on English ground once again, and able to talk with you face to face! It seems strange to continue my lonely circulars after losing him, the chief actor in our past travels, but as I am writing on the condition of this afflicted land and beloved people quite as much as to describe personal experience, I will do my best to keep you in touch with matters here so long as I remain, and as I move from point to point to carry you with me in my travels. Our last day in Malatia was our busiest, I think. All our premises were in a constant crowd, in which it was difficult to say who were coming and who going! Turkish commissioners and zaptiehs, Gregorian priests, Protestant deacons! The architect, yesterday out of prison, busy suggesting how to rebuild the ruined Protestant schools, so that on Sundays they can be also used as church, to hold IOOO people. The young preacher, also just released (the joint effect of the visits of the British Consul, Mr. Fontana, and Shakir Pasha, to Malatia), going in and out among the crowd with a constant smile on his fine open countenance. The still imprisoned pastor's wife trying to rejoice in the freedom of her husband's late companions, but with a twitching of the mouth, and repressed tears in the eyes, because her dear one is still, with one..
In this highly original environmental history, Samuel Dolbee sheds new light on borders and state formation by following locusts and revealing how they shaped both the environment and people's imaginations from the late Ottoman Empire to the Second World War. Drawing on a wide range of archival research in multiple languages, Dolbee details environmental, political, and spatial transformations in the region's history by tracing the movements of locusts and their intimate relationship to people in motion, including Arab and Kurdish nomads, Armenian deportees, and Assyrian refugees, as well as states of the region. With locusts and moving people at center stage, surprising continuities and ruptures appear in the Jazira, the borderlands of today's Iraq, Syria, and Turkey. Transcending approaches focused on the collapse of the Ottoman Empire or the creation of nation states, Dolbee provides a new perspective on the modern Middle East grounded in environmental change, state violence, and popular resistance.
