Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Albania, the Foundling State of Europe This book deals with a phase in the history of Albania, which is passing away. The new King has arrived at his new capital, and the European ruler has replaced the Turkish Pasha. But the soul of the Shkypetar people remains the same, and the Albania of to-morrow will be the Albania of yesterday with only a superficial variation. In the Near East things, when they change, change slowly, and the transition from the Middle Ayes to the Twentieth Century will not be accomplished by a stroke of the pen because Europe has at last recognised its foundling State.
