Description: Ioannis’ Capodistrias’ letter of resignation to Tsar Nicholas I, in which he produces an account of his career as Privy Council and Foreign Minister.  Count Capodistrias, a European Statesman par excellence, played a vital role in the creation of Switzerland as a polity that includes direct democratic processes and strict accountability. The canton systems in use today were his innovation. An honorary citizen of Geneva, an aristocrat from Corfu and Istria, a doctor by profession and the first Governor of Greece, Capodistrias has left his mark in contemporary European History. This is his political autobiography.
