Le mémoire d' Auguste de Jassaud sur les îles d' Hydra, Spetsai, Poros et Psara en 1809

Abstract

The lengthy memorandum of the young French diplomat, Auguste de Jassaud, is the most complete contemporary account of the political, social, and economic situation on the islands of Hydra, Spetsai, Poros, and Psara before the Greek War of Independence. Quite unknown until recently, it was published for the first time by the author of this article.
