Excerpt from Visit to Greece: In 1823 and 1824 A variety of circumstances are mentioned as having contributed to occasion the Greek Revo lution. It has been said, that there are limits to human sufi'erance; that our powers of submission, like our powers of action, are measured and restrained; that the miseries of Greece had at tained the boundaries allotted to them, and burst out into insurrection from very impossibility of further endurance. Whatever be the merits of this theory, it is rendered inapplicable to the present case, by the mere fact, that the Greeks, during the last twenty years, at least, have lived under a mitigated despotism.
