. The historians' history of the world; a comprehensive narrative of the rise and development of nations as recorded by over two thousand of the great writers of all ages: . ngOchrida, the ancient capital of the Shishmans, Dibra, and Kastoria, as well THE HISTOEY OF BULGARIA 179 [1878-1879 A.D.] as the districts of Vranya and Pirot, and possessing a Mediterranean port atKavala. The Dobrudscha, notwithstanding its Bulgarian population, wasnot included in the new state, being reserved as compensation to Rumaniafor the Russian annexation of Bessarabia; Adrianople, Saloniki, and theChalciihan peninsula were left to Turkey. The area thus delimited consti-tuted three-fifths of the Balkan Peninsula, with a population of four millioninhabitants.

It was provided that the prince of Bulgaria should be freelyelected by the population, and confirmed by the Sublime Porte with the assentof the powers, and that, before his ele
