Édition de la même année que l'originale in 4, de la traduction française par Pierre Briot, qui fut considérée comme la plus exacte. Cette histoire de l'état présent de l'Empire ottoman publiée pour la 1re fois en anglais en 1668 fut le premier ouvrage à bien faire connaître les mÏurs des Turcs, ainsi que les ressources et la politique de cet Empire. Il fut traduit dans presque toutes les langues de l'Europe et continua, malgré les nouvelles informations qui furent recueillies par la suite sur la Porte, d'être lu avec intérêt. Il passe même pour l'une des sources pour les "Lettres persanes" de Montesquieu, qui en possédait un exemplaire dans sa bibliothèque.
