Book Description

Excerpt from Ionian Islands in the Year 1863 When it became probable that the islands forming the Septinsular Republic of Ionia after having remained under the protection of the British Crown since the Peace of 1815, were likely soon to become a part of Greece, I felt that it would be interesting, in every way, to visit them before so great a change should take place. The presence of my fellow-countrymen could not fail to render the task of investigation comparatively easy. I should see a country preparing for a peaceful revolution. I should be able to judge in some measure what England had done, how far she had fulfilled the responsible office she had undertaken, and what was the probability of her plans being carried out.
