Books by Edward Blaquiere

Edward Blaquiere (1779-1832) was influenced by the liberal philosophy of Jeremy Bentham, and in 1823 helped form the London Greek Committee to raise money for the Greek war of independence. In this 1824 book, Blaquiere describes recent events in Greece, emphasising his credentials as an eyewitness.

This 1822 work on the Spanish revolution against the absolutist King Ferdinand VII combines an account of the beginning of the so-called 'liberal triennium' (three years of liberal rule from 1820) with a general view of the land, people and culture of Spain, in a series of sixteen letters.
