Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Knickerbocker, or New-York Monthly Magazine, 1856, Vol. 48 The low cabins of Silistria are surrounded by little court-yards; and walking through the streets is passing between two continuous, window less walls. These wicker-walls - for such is their construction in the Danubian cities are so well plastered, internally and externally, as to defy the eye of the curious howadji on the qui vice for the veiled beauties within. The one great object for which Mussulmans appear to live, is to conceal their women from the inquiring eyes of men.
