Excerpt from Artist in Corfu With a story reaching far beyond history to the glorious myths of Greece, Corfu shared also in its Golden Age, and in the fantastic mediaeval romance of its Frankish subjection. The little island has played its part in every period of history, and until recent years was an important junction for commerce, and a more important political asset. With a beauty of scenery unsurpassed in dainty perfection, and a climate that gives months of exquisite weather, Corfu has been strangely forgotten by our generation, and one can get information of it more readily from the classical scholar than from the average traveller. East and West no longer strive for dominance in the Ionian Straits, and with the changing conditions of modern life commerce has passed into other channels. The island stepping-stones are no longer needed. The great Venetian forts are silent and dismantled, and the lovely circle of the bay holds only a few cargo boats, a passing yacht, a fleet of fishing craft; at most, a squad of orderly warships, replacing the free-booting pirate-admirals who were used to find Corfu so rich a prey. And the oft-disputed harbour reposes under a clause of perpetual neutrality. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Masters in Art: El Greco It would be hard to imagine one who differed in more ways than he from the calculated, carefully poised art which we call classic. There is nothing of the unthinking serenity of Greece in his types; they are tortured and quite modern in expression. Half gods or Titans at the best, these men of his have little likeness to the Greek gods of High Olympus.

Excerpt from History of the Island of Corfu and of the Republic of the Ionian Islands The total absence of archives at Corfu, tending in any way to elucidate the history of that island, has left me no alternative but that of offering what will perhaps be thought a disjointed account, in an endeavour to harmonize together in one con secutive history such isolated facts as were found, relating to the subject, in the authors who have written on the countries lying in the south-east of Europe with some one of which Corfu has been at one time or another connected, and, in comparing together the several versions of the story, i have been anxious to give one which might appear impartial and correct.

Excerpt from Greece and the Golden Horn The city of Corfu is built upon a point Of land, just Opposite to Vida, and though not perfectly flat, is not, with the exception of the citadel and. The streets near the governor's palace, greatly elevated. The houses built of stone or brick, and plastered and whitewashed, have a neglected and decaying appearance. The streets are very narrow, and, with a few exceptions, the shops are small, poor, and dirty. Only a few of the coarsest articles are exhibited for sale, and though the streets are several of them crowded, there is but little appearance of business. Multitudes of people stood or sat idle, laughing, talking, or smoking. No° thing could be more picturesque and un-european than the whole scene. It was decidedly oriental, and the more striking for being the first oriental town I had visited. The flowing and various costumes of the Greeks, Turks, and Albanians, were mingled in gay confusion.

Excerpt from Visit to Greece: In 1823 and 1824 A variety of circumstances are mentioned as having contributed to occasion the Greek Revo lution. It has been said, that there are limits to human sufi'erance; that our powers of submission, like our powers of action, are measured and restrained; that the miseries of Greece had at tained the boundaries allotted to them, and burst out into insurrection from very impossibility of further endurance. Whatever be the merits of this theory, it is rendered inapplicable to the present case, by the mere fact, that the Greeks, during the last twenty years, at least, have lived under a mitigated despotism.

Excerpt from Vacation Days in Greece For the most part I have avoided what has been most frequently described. Athens, Olympia, and the much-visited Argive plain, I have not touched upon, because I did not wish to swell the book by telling thrice-told tales. I tell of what I have most enjoyed, in the hope that readers may feel with me the charm of this poet's land, which has, more than any other, infinite riches in a little room.

Excerpt from Observations Upon the Peloponnesus and Greek Islands, Made in 1829 The day after our arrival, I removed to the Lazar etto, and occupied an apartment looking out on the lofty battlements of Valetta. The seclusion here is not entire. In ordinary cases the inmates are allowed to converse with each other Wherever they chance to meet, remembering only to preserve the proper distance. But the intercourse with all persons not in quarantine, must be in the parlatorio, or place for conversation, Where barriers 'are interposed to pre vent a near approach of the parties.

'they represent the islands and people as they are, and as I saw them, and I hope they will reflect a part of that satisfaction and plea sure I experienced whilst making my observations. I owe the warmest acknowledgments to all my numerous and kind friends in all the islands. From the Lord High Commissioner, the Residents, the Secretary to the Government, and the other officers of State, through every rank to the poorest boat man, mule driver, policeman, and servant, both from my fellow-countrymen and from natives of the islands, I have everywhere met with the most friendly hospitality, and the most ready attention to all my wants.
