Edward Brown, A brief account of some travels in divers parts of Europe viz Hungaria, Servia, Bulgaria, Macedonia, Thessaly, Austria, Styria, Carinthia, Carniola, and Friuli : through a great part of Germany, and the Low-Countries : through Marca Trevisana, and Lombardy on both sides of the Po : with some observations on the gold, silver, copper, quick-silver mines, and the baths and mineral waters in those parts : as also, the description of many antiquities, habits, fortifications and remarkable places (London : Printed for Benj. Tooke ..., 1685)
The Turks, who are well acquainted with the Captives of several Nations, make observations of them: so they say, a Russian is best for the Oar, a Georgian - makes a good Courtier, and an Albanian, a good Counsellor. A Turk in our company, observing a Georgian Captive much dejected at his Condition, encouraged him, and bid him be of good cheer, telling him he might come to be a great Man, and one of the best in Turkey.
