Life and register readings

The life of Hüseyin Hüsnü Halet Efendi began in Burdur in 1830/31 (AH 1246). Hüseyin Hüsnü Halet began work in Istanbul in 1844/45, at about 14. The first annual entry, for 1844/45, places Hüseyin Hüsnü Halet in Istanbul as Divan-ı Hümâyun Kalemi stajyeri. The annual lists then follow Hüseyin Hüsnü Halet to Mosul (Musul), Istanbul and Plovdiv (Filibe) from 1848 to 1853. Alongside, the lists for 1852 to 1855 give a second post, in Istanbul as Bâb-ı Seraskerî Tahrirat Odası stajyeri. Alongside, the lists for 1853 to 1858 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Rumeli Varidat Muhasebesi görevlisi. Alongside, the lists for 1857/58 give a second post, in Istanbul as Meclis-i Muhasebe-i Maliye Mazbata Odası görevlisi. Next came Izmir (İzmir) from 1858 to 1861. Alongside, the lists for 1860 to 1862 give a second post, in Istanbul as Meclis-i Muhasebe-i Maliye Mazbata Odası görevlisi. Alongside, the lists for 1860 to 1862 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Meclis-i Vâlâ nezaretindeki ikinci kavas hesaplarını düzeltme görevi. Hüseyin Hüsnü Halet then moved to Kastoria (Kesriye), Amasya and Komotini (Gümülcine) from 1863 to 1880.

The salary went from 1,000 kuruş a month in 1851/52 to 3,500 in 1866/67, the peak, in Amasya, when 95 per cent of paid officials earned less. The final annual entry is for 1884/85.
