Life and register readings

İsmail Hakkı Efendi was born in Kırşehir in 1857/58 (AH 1274), into the İslam community, and the father's occupation was "Bezzaz esnafı". Work began in 1878, at about 20. The annual lists begin in 1878, with İsmail Hakkı as mülazım (muhasebe kalemi) in Kırşehir, the birthplace. The last entries, from 1878 to 1881, name İsmail Hakkı as Üçüncü fırka mukayyidliği, with no place.

Pay rose from 225 kuruş a month in 1878/79 to a peak of 300 in 1880/81, when 28 per cent of paid officials earned less. In all, three years of salary come to 8,700 kuruş, 60 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned in those years. The last annual entry is for 1880/81.
