 Subject: History of the Greek revolution by Thomas Gordon (1844 edition)
   
On the occasion of the 195th anniversary of the War of Greek Independence in 1821, appended below is the URL of a freely downloadable digitized book titled _History of the Greek revolution, and of the wars and campaigns arising from the struggles of the Greek patriots in emancipating their country from the Turkish yoke_ by Philhellene British (Scottish) Maj. General Thomas Gordon, FRS (1788-1841).
This is the second edition of Thomas Gordon's book published in 1844 (the first edition was published in 1832). The book was also translated into German, forming parts 3 and 4 of Johann Wilhelm Zinkeisen's _Geschichte Griechenlands_,' 8vo, Leipzig (1832-40) [footnote 1]. A Greek translation was undertaken by Alexandros Papadiamantis in 1903 (Θωμά Γόρδωνος Ιστορία της Ελληνικής Επαναστάσεως) but was finally published after 112 long years in 2015! [Vide infra - footnotes 2, 3].
The book was digitized by Google from the library of Harvard University and uploaded to the Internet Archive by user tpb.
