Life and register readings
The life of Sâlih Münir Paşa began in Istanbul in 1857/58 (AH 1274); the father's occupation was "Şûrâ-yı Devlet Tanzimat Dairesi reisi". Work began in Istanbul in 1872/73, at about 15. The annual lists begin in 1872/73, with Sâlih Münir as Bâbıâli Tercüme Odası mülâzımı in Istanbul, the birthplace, where the entries run to 1895/96. At the same time, from 1895 to 1897, the lists also place Sâlih Münir in Paris as Paris sefiri. The farthest post, Paris, lay about 2,250 km from Istanbul, and fewer than 3 per cent of the 5,339 officials with a known birthplace and place of service served as far from the birthplace.
Pay rose from 100 kuruş a month in 1873/74 to a peak of 21,500 in 1895/96, in Paris, when 99 per cent of paid officials earned less. Over 21 years the salaries add up to 1,975,200 kuruş, 19.4 times what an official on the median salary earned, a level reached by 45 of the 4,381 officials paid for five years or more. The peak was 215 times the first salary, a rise matched by 18 of the 2,724 officials paid for ten years or more. The last annual entry is for 1896/97.
