Nos, the whole nation Is more in
teasely and thoroughly democratic than
any other in Europe. They acknowledge
no nobility save that Of descent from the
chiefs who fought in the war Of liberia
tiOn-they will allow no distinction Of
cla.ses-every common mule-boy is q
gentleman, and fully your equal. He
sits in the room at meals, and joins in
the conversation at dinner. The only
reason they tolerate king is because
they cannot endure one of themselves to
be superior. This jealousy is, unfortu-
nately, a handspring of Greek politics,
aud when combined with dislike of
agriculture,as a stupid and unintellectual
occupation, fills all the country with
politicians, merchants and journalists.
But they want the spirit of subordination
Of their great ancestors, and are often
accused OF lack of honesty-a very grave
feature, and the greatest obstacle to pro-
gress in all ages. But it is better to let
points of character come gradually in
the course of our studies than to bring
them together into an official portrait.
It is impossible to wander through the
country without seeing and understand
ing the inhai itants; for the traveller is in
constant contrct with them, and they
have no scruple in displaying all their
character.
NJ. About has earned the profound ha-
tired and contempt of the nation by his
picture, and do not wonder at it, seeing
that the tone in which he writes is flip
pant aud ill-natured, aud seems to be-
token certain private animosities, of which
the Greeks tell numerous anecdotes.
have no such excuse to be severe or
ill-natured, as l found nothing but kind
ness and hospitality everywhere, and
sincerely hope my free judgments may
not hurt some sensitive Greek who may
chance to see them. Even the great
Finlay-one OF their best friends-is con-
stantly censured by them for his writings
about Modern Greece.
But, surely, any real lover of Greece
must feel that plain speaking about the
faults Of the nation is much wanted.
The worship lavished upon them by By
