Remarks content

Mousson travelled to the Ionian Islands in September 1858 and in February of the same year he gave a lecture on this journey. The book described here is a transcription of that lecture, with added information that provide an interesting background to his voyage. The author spent 10 days at Corfu, visited Levkada very briefly and then spent another ten days at Cephallonia, where he witnessed an earthquake and the funeral of the Catholic Archbishop while in Argostoli.
