  For more than two centuries the Levant Company enjoyed a monopoly of British trade with the Ottoman Empire and provided Britain's diplomatic representation at the Sultan's court. This work examines the supporting cast of Britons who lived and worked alongside the merchants at the Company's three principal trading posts during the 18th century.
