Life and register readings
Hüseyin Hüsnü Paşa was born in Istanbul in 1839/40 (AH 1255); the father's occupation was "Padişah maiyetinde görev yapmış emekli asker". Work began in Paris in 1859/60, at about 20. The first annual entry, for 1859/60, places Hüseyin Hüsnü in Paris as Mülâzım-ı sânî. At the same time, from 1866 to 1874, the lists also place Hüseyin Hüsnü in Paris as Paris Sefareti ateşemiliteri. Alongside, the lists for 1868/69 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Erkân-ı harp binbaşısı. Hüseyin Hüsnü then moved to Istanbul in 1872/73. Alongside, the lists for 1878 give a second post, in Çatalca as Çatalca İstihkâmları İnşaat Komisyonu reisi. The annual lists then follow Hüseyin Hüsnü to Paris in 1883/84. Alongside, the lists for 1883 to 1897 give a second post, in a post with no place named as Cuma Kolordusu teftiş görevlisi. 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.
The salary went from 6,000 kuruş a month in 1887/88 to 27,500 in 1889/90, the peak, when 99 per cent of paid officials earned less. On average the pay stood in the top 0.7 per cent of each year's paid officials; only 3 of the 4,381 officials paid for five years or more stood as high. The last annual entry is for 1896/97.
