Hogarth praised the book, stating that there was no hitherto book covering its ground.Hogarth, p. 186\. Hogarth concluded "We hope enough has been said to recommend these valuable volumes to historical students."Hogarth, p. 189\. He stated that it would have been nice had Ottoman Turkish original documents been included, as that while there were relatively few people who would study the originals, including the originals would have benefited them and the inclusion "unquestionably would have secured the fame of this book as a permanent and final work of reference." Hogarth added that there were some minor errors, "but none of much importance."

*[Law Quarterly Review](/wiki/Law_Quarterly_Review "Law Quarterly Review")* wrote that while the work was not likely to be read by a large audience, "he has made excellent use of his opportunities" and "it is a credit" to his publishers and to the British diplomatic staff.


How does the reviewer feel about the author's use of opportunities?
