An important work. The author was despatched with an artillery battery to assist Ali Pasha who was attempting to gain control of the Ionian Islands. For a year thereafter he was with Ali Pasha and directed the siege of St. Maura and the defence of Prevesa. His descriptions of Ali Pasha and of life in his palace are particularly expressive. Walton's translation of the manuscript coincided with the British acquisition of the Ionian Islands.
