Excerpt from Ionian Islands in the Year 1863 The results of my visit will be found in the following pages. '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.
