- "Seljouk was the prime minister of Sultân Bighoû, sovereign of Kipjak; he established himself, with his tribe, in the countries of Samarcand and Bokhara, where they became converted to the religion of Islâm."
- "Why Persian rather than Arabian or any other literature became the model of Ottoman writers, is explained by the early history of the race. Some two centuries before the arrival of the Turks in Asia Minor, the Seljouks, then a mere horde of savages, had overrun Persia, where they settled and adopted the civilization of the people they had subdued."
- "Those who desire to read the exploits of those great Seljouk conquerors, Togrul-beg, Alp-Arslan, (the lion), and Malek Shah, we refer to the volume of Gibbon, who has rendered their fame immortal."
