1887. [Perdicaris, Ion.] – Mohammed Benani. A story of to-day. London: 8vo, pp. 324.
It is an open secret that the story, published anonymously and intended to expose the abuses of the Protection system, more especially by one particular power (the representatives of which, with other well-known Tangier people, are described under thin disguises), is by Ion Pericaris, an American citizen – of Greek origin – long resident in Tangier. The real names of the characters which figure in it may be found in the « Times of Morocco » (No. 199, Oct. 8th, 1887).



Fiction,supposedly in Morocco."The serious objsct of the book is..to attract public attention to the evil adjustment of a mechanism which grinds, not grain, but human creatures between the upper and never stone of Jewish and Moorish oppression.
-awful mills to which the placid breeze of Consular support imparts continuous motion"
