F. Abbott is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work chronicles the experiences of Sir John Finch, who served as the English Ambassador to the Ottoman Empire from 1674 to 1681. It examines the complex nature of Anglo-Turkish relations during that time, providing insights into the political dynamics, cultural observations, and personal anecdotes of Finch and his contemporaries. The opening of the narrative sets the stage for Finch's reluctant acceptance of the ambassadorship to Constantinople and delves into his background, highlighting his family's political stature and his own struggle with the prospect of exile. Finch's character is depicted as somewhat unambitious and averse to the diplomatic life; however, his expertise and the political circumstances of the time compel him to undertake this significant role. The foreword further establishes the traveler and observer motif, as the broader context of Turkish administration and the challenges faced by foreign diplomats during a time of both cultural richness and political tension is introduced.
