Excerpt from Greek Life in Town Country

In writing this little book, I have spared no pains to make it an accurate and impartial sketch of modern Greece, its life and its institutions. There are few districts of the country which I have not visited, and I have received valuable assistance and information from Greeks of every kind and degree, from prime ministers to muleteers, and from bishops to bootblacks. To all and sundry I would tender my thanks for their unfailing kindness to a warm friend of their country. I have derived comparatively small aid from printed matter, for there is little, even in Greek, about the Greeks of to-day. I append, however, a list of the chief Greek publications which I have consulted: -

Annual of the Ministry of Public Worship and Education, 1900-1.

Census Returns, 1896.

Budget, 1903.

Reports of the Ethnological and Historical Society, vols. i.-v., and part of vol. vi.

K. M. Samios: 'Pictures from the Greek Forests,' 1900.

P. Kavvadias: 'History of the Arch?ological Society,' 1900.

Proceedings of the Arch?ological Society for 1901 and 1902.

G. N. Philaretos: 'The Greek Constitution.'

D. S. Balanos: 'Our Church.'

The Government Gazette.

Law for Military Service.
