Frontispiece with tissue guard and signature of original owner on ffep - Cyrus Hamlin, MD, with a Brooklyn address. There were 2 other prominent Cyrus Hamlin's - one a Civil War general and another a Professor at Yale, both related to the Cyrus Hamlin being memorialized. The book was purchased from the Hamlin estate in Somesville, Maine. Hamlin was born in Waterford, Maine and grew up on his family's farm estate. At sixteen, he entered an apprenticeship as a silversmith and jeweler in Portland, Maine before deciding to enter the ministry. He graduated from Bowdoin College in 1834 and from Bangor Theological Seminary in 1837. The Hamlins were a prominent nineteenth-century Maine family which also produced a Vice President of the United States (Hannibal Hamlin). He promptly left the United States in 1838 as a missionary under the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions, arriving in the Ottoman Empire in January 1839. Hamlin helped found Bebek Seminary in 1840 as part of his outreach to Armenians. From this workshop sprung a baking business, by which Hamlin became the primary provider of bread to the British Army hospital in Istanbul during the Crimean War. It was during this period that Hamlin became acquainted with Florence Nightingale. In 1860, he began the work of establishing Robert College in Istanbul,Ottoman Empire. After years of unsuccessfully lobbying the Ottoman authorities for permission to build the school, Hamlin was eventually granted an imperial order granting permission for the school to be built and permitting it to be under American (United States) protection and fly the flag of the United States of America. The school opened its doors on May 15, 1863. Hamlin served as its president until 1876, when he returned to the United States where he later served as professor of dogmatic theology at Bangor Theological Seminary. He was elected president of Middlebury College in Vermont in 1880. Hamlin's guidance brought the College back from the brink of collapse and began a recovery process that would ultimately lead to unprecedented growth in the early years of the 20th Century. However, the most significant event of Hamlin's administration one that would prove key in maintaining Middlebury's stability later on was the college's decision to accept women in 1883. He published Among the Turks (1878) and My Life and Times (1893).".
