 15 BLAQUIERE (Edward) Original Manuscript in the Author’s Handwriting
of page numbered 91, of The Origin and Progress of the Greek Revolution, folio page,
with several corrections, 788 6d

 

 My dear Sir

I have received & read with great pleasure your re-
port of the Greek affairs. I hOpe that brave peeple will escape
the fate which all other nations have recently experienced. I
am afraid that they have little to expect but from themselves.
the Christian zeal of the holy alliance seems to stOp where the
interests of power are threatehed, a a treaty with the Turks a-
gainst the Greeks may perhaps bear the same date & the same names
as an ordonance for the reestablishment of inquisition.

I am very thankful for your kind offer concerning my books. But
my booksellers seem to think the privilege of having the sheets
sent before the publication will be of some profit to them, & I
could not deprive them of it unlesSI could indemnify them. I be-
lieve they ask 50 L besides I am afraid it is rather late
as the book will come out about the 14th of January.

I have been induced to publish a larger part of my work at once,
which has occasioned the delay. the two first partswill appear at
once. This book has procured me the advantage at least of forget-
ting sometimes entirely all political affairs.

What I shall always remember with gratitude & affection will be
the friendship you are so kind as to assure me of. ‘

Believe me my dear Sir
Xbre 18th 1823 yours sincerely

Monsieur (Edward) Blaquiere . B Constant

Southampton

 

Edward Blaquiere the recipient of this letter was in England at
this time to consult with the Greek Committee, and to raise a
loan to support the movement for Greek independence. He was a
partisan of the Mavrocordato faction in Greece. On his way back
to Greece he stepped at Genoa to see Byron, and it was he who
sent to Byron to come to Greece.
