Abstract

The article discusses aspects of urban economy in the Bulgarian lands under an Ottoman rule during the period 1800-1878 on such information is received by British diplomatic documents. If at the beginning of the XIX century reportedly mainly for the southern part of the Balkan Peninsula, it just before and after the Crimean War (1853-1856) data refer to most of the territories populated by Bulgarians. In British diplomatic correspondence there is a lot of information about trade relations, payment of taxes and the presence of the Bulgarians as part of the urban elite. The spread of the missions of the Foreign Ministry of Great Britain in Bulgarian lands under an Ottoman rule contribute to the advent of European economic relations in the urban sector and have a catalytic role in the process of modernization.
