Excerpt from History of the Island of Corfu and of the Republic of the Ionian Islands The total absence of archives at Corfu, tending in any way to elucidate the history of that island, has left me no alternative but that of offering what will perhaps be thought a disjointed account, in an endeavour to harmonize together in one con secutive history such isolated facts as were found, relating to the subject, in the authors who have written on the countries lying in the south-east of Europe with some one of which Corfu has been at one time or another connected, and, in comparing together the several versions of the story, i have been anxious to give one which might appear impartial and correct.
