|a The Pages of the Sultan, who hold a much more important office, than is to be inferred from what we mean by the same name, at least they often arrive at the most important dignities, are appointed in a very peculiar manner. -- There is, in the large suburb of Constantinople called Pera, an extensive building or palace, in which a considerable number of boys are maintained at the expense of the government. These are called Ichlogans. From this body are the Pages chosen. They are here attended by Codjas, or masters, who teach them the Turkish, Persian, and Arabic languages, and the art of writing. Some of them are also instructed in various other accomplishments, and in those offices that are required of them, when they shall be employed about the Sultan’s person. Many of them, however, are brought up for the inferior situations of the Seraglio; these are called Adjem-Oglan. Most of them are the children of Christian captives, and they are very carefully instructed in the precepts of the Koran. -- The Ichlogans who have made the best use of their time, and who appear to possess the most abilities, are admitted in the number of pages; they then rise in succession, and often occupy the most important offices in the seraglio; and by the favour of their Sultan, and the presents they often receive from those whose interest they espouse, sometimes become very rich. -- Costume of Turkey (Dalvimart, Octavian.
