He does not stay long in the mosque, and usually proceeds to visit a barrack or some other public building.

When the monarch goes by water to the mosque, he generally returns also in his barge; if he goes by land, he returns in the same manner.
The most popular walks in Pera are "the great and little Campo," which may be termed "burying-places in cypress-groves." It is a peculiar custom of the Turks, which we hardly find among any other nation, that all their feasts, walks, business-transactions, and even their dwellings, are in the midst of graves.

Every where, in Constantinople, Pera, Galata, etc., one can scarcely walk a few paces without passing several graves surrounded by cypresses.

We wander continually between the living and the dead; but within four and twenty hours I was quite reconciled to the circumstance.

During the night-time I could pass the graves with as little dread as if I were walking among the houses of the living.
