"Important philhellenic collection (É) Emerson reached Greece at the end of 1823 and left soon after Byron's death in 1824. In 1825 he returned as a volunteer and was correspondent for the Times, fighting alongside Miaoulis and Makriyannis. The portrait of Miaoulis is after a drawing from life by Emerson. The Italian revolutionary Pecchio had been living in exile in England when he decided to go to Greece for a few weeks because he was "desirous of paying a visit to the members of the Government". He rapidly became disillusioned but was honest in his account, which is very interesting" [Leonora Navari]. Bon exemplaire de ce livre important pour l'histoire du philhellŽnisme.
