Barracks of Cassim Pacha, in Constantinople, 1854. Crimean War. View of '...the Barracks behind the arsenal, on the Golden Horn, in which the Russian prisoners are prisoners have all been well treated; though the close quarters to which they are naturally confined, and the great heat, are complained of.
