“When a new Prince accedes to the Throne, is is cuſtomary to give⟳ each Janiſary 25 Dollars Gratification-money; and Six Deniers per Day Augmentation of Pay⟳: Provided what he actually has do not exceed Six Solds. If a Janiſary marries, he muſt expect⟳ no Promotion; but after he has already reached the Rank of a Captain, he may then marry⟳, and it will be no Obſtacle to his future Advancement. If a Janiſary is detected of any Fault, they carry⟳ him before the Aga, who chaſtiſes him, or orders him to be chaſtiſed by his Odo Bachi. Sometimes, according to the Offence, they baniſh them; but if a Janiſary’s Crime merits Death, they ſtrangle him in the Night-time, and caſt his Body into the Sea.”

“[T]he writers against the constitution, seem to have⟳ taken pains to signalize their talent at misrepresentation. […] The authorities of a magistrate, in few instances greater, in some instances less, than those of a governor of New York, have⟳ been magnified into more than royal prerogatives. […] We have⟳ been taught to tremble at the terrific visages of murdering janisaries; and to blush at the unveiled mysteries of a future seraglio.”
