Books by George Finlay

A philhellene participant in the Greek war of independence alongside Lord Byron, George Finlay (1799-1875) thereafter devoted decades to historical research. This classic seven-volume work, tracing the history of Greece across two millennia, was edited from Finlay's earlier monographs by Henry Fanshawe Tozer (1829-1916) and published in 1877.

The philhellene George Finlay (1799-1875) took part in the Greek war of independence alongside Lord Byron. Finlay's two-volume 1861 account ranges from Greece under Ottoman control, through independence, and up to the 1843 unrest that led to the creation of a constitutional monarchy.
