Excerpt from The War of Greek Independence
This little book makes no pretence to be the result of original research, nor does it aspire to compete with the more elaborate works which have already appeared on the same subject. In offering it to the public, my aim has been to make more generally accessible a chapter of modern history which recent events have invested with a new interest; and I am not without hope that the following pages may be of some use in helping those, who have no time or opportunity for an extended study of the Greek question, to form a clearer judgment upon the matters at issue.
For the materials on which this volume is based I am mainly indebted to Mendelssohn-Bartholdy's * Geschichte Griechenlands,' &c. (vols. XV. and xx. of C. Biedermann's 'Staatengeschichte der neuesten Zeit'), Finlay's 'History of the Greek Revolution' (2 vols. 1861), Gordon's 'History of the Greek Revolution' (2 vols. 1832), and Prokesch-Osten's 'Geschichte des Abfalls der Griechen vom Turkischen Reich.' Baron von Prokesch-Osten's work is interesting as an elaborate and able apology for Prince Mettemich's Eastern policy.
