Life and register readings
Mehmed Rüşdü Efendi was born in Burdur in 1863/64 (AH 1280); the father was a merchant (tüccar). At about 14, in 1877/78, Mehmed Rüşdü began work in Burdur. The first annual entry, for 1877/78, places Mehmed Rüşdü in Burdur, the birthplace, as Burdur Sancağı Tahrirat Kalemi stajyeri, where the entries run to 1885/86. Alongside, the lists for 1878 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Tahrir Emlak ve Vukuat Kâtibi. The last posts were in Burdur again from 1887 to 1889.
Pay rose from 235 kuruş a month in 1878 to a peak of 240 in 1879/80, in Burdur, when 17 per cent of paid officials earned less. After ten years the salary stood below the first, 175 kuruş against 235. Over ten years the salaries add up to 26,880 kuruş, 55 per cent of what an official on the median salary earned. The final annual entry is for 1888/89.
