A BRITISH MERCHANT IN TURKEY: FREEMAN OF THE LEVANT COMPANY AND CONSUL, DONALD SANDISON AT BURSA, 1795–1868

Emine Zeytinli

Donald Sandison was a British merchant who was based in Istanbul, from where he ran his business beginning with the second decade of the nineteenth century. He established business partnerships and became a member of the British Levant Company as well as a consul. He was the first British consul to Bursa, between 1838 and 1868. This bibliographic study focuses on Sandison, an overseas British citizen in Istanbul, as both a merchant and a consul. The study includes a wealth of information from national archives in Great Britain and Turkey, genealogical search, and nineteenth-century British newspapers.
