Excerpt from Patriots and Filibusters: Or Incidents of Political and Exploratory Travel
Unfortunately, the importance which attaches to it in this latter respect has considerably diminished since the period of my visit; while, on other accounts, this romantic district is invested with a deeper, though' more melancholy interest, from the fact that the wild tribes which inhabited it are partially subdued, or, unwilling to submit themselves to the hated yoke of their traditional foe, have abandoned their native val leys, and migrated to the Ottoman Empire, where the national religion and institutions have attracted them to take refuge. Almost the only part which still re mains quasi-independent, though held with much diifi culty, is that province, a portion of which formed the scene of our explorations; and it is melancholy to think that it, too, is destined ultimately to be absorbed by the insatiat'e power which on all sides surrounds it.
