Superior authority and justice, however, will never league with a Quarterly Reviewer in crushing an oppressed individual; I have therefore determined no longer to maintain a silence, which would sanction those misrepre scutations, and in so doing, fix the most inju rious imputations on my character.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book argues that in 1819, three years after the British took control of the Ionian Islands, the author was unfairly removed from his position as head of the government of Parga. The author details his many years of military service and administrative experience before being unjustly relieved in retaliation for his honesty. The author wished to highlight the abuse of power that occurred claiming he was denied compensation and other benefits given to those in similar positions. The book contains valuable insights for those interested in military history, specifically the role of Britain in the Mediterranean, and sheds light on the political and social climate of the Ionian Islands during the early 19th century.
