Finlay, George |
| Scope and Content | Athens, 31 July 1839. Criticism of Otho; constitutional party persecuted by faked attacks on their property; George Finlay has suffered. Ross sends copies of his publication. Forchhammer is here but has 'a fit of Bavarianism'. Scandalous episode when three of Otho's ministers were said to have signed a certificate in 1835 declaring King incapable of governing. This smoothed over but Otho will have to go. George Finlay's historical work moves slowly. |
