Octavo, pp.: xxv+317+8 illustrations plus a folded map of the Greek independence war. One of the most noteworthy contributions to modern Greek literature in Victorian England by writer, poet and translator, Elizabeth Mayhew Edmonds, is the famous Kolokotrones’ autobiography. It is an invaluable source of Greek national history that illuminates the events of the 1821 rebellion, along with a specimen of the terse and graphic idiom which prevails with the illiterate portion of the Greek people; it is valuable as an historical document.
