8. The Early History of the Levant Company. By M. Epstein. Routledge, 1908.

THE early history of the English in the Mediterranean falls into two well-defined periods. The first, which forms the subject of this article, is concerned with sporadic attempts to create a Levant trade, which eventually became concentrated and effectively continuous in the Levant Company or Company of Turkey Merchants. This period covers the years 1553 to 1603, and is notable, chiefly, for the difficulties experienced by the London merchants and their agents in Constantinople. The material is to be found mainly in the despatches of those agents, addressed to William Cecil, Lord Burghley, and to his son Robert, Lord Salisbury, as yet unpublished, and in the despatches of the Venetian ambassadors at Vol. 230.-No. 457.
