The Ottoman Penal Code 28 Zilhijeh 1274. Translated from the French text by C. G. Walpole (President of the District Court of Larnaca, Cyprus).
Published by William Clowes and Sons, Ltd. (London 1888). 133+xi p. Contents include Preliminary Provisions; Book I: Of Offences Against the State, and the
Punishment of the Same; Book II: Of Offenses Against the Person, and the Punishment of the Same; and Book III: Breaches of the Law Relating to Public
Health and Cleanliness, and Offences Against Police Regulations. From the Preface: “The Ottoman Penal Code is somewhat crude and inelastic, and is
wanting in that precision which commends itself to the mind of an English lawyer; at the same time, it is based on principles of common sense, common
morality, and common justice, and is a very ‘workable’ piece of legislation.”
