Edward Blaquiere (1779-1832), an Irishman of Huguenot descent,
joined the Royal Navy in 1794 and served, chiefly in the
Mediterranean, throughout the Napoleonic wars. In 1820, influenced
by Jeremy Bentham, he went on his behalf to Spain to observe the
revolution there, and published this account in 1822. (Blaquiere
was later involved in the Greek war of independence, and his
accounts of two visits to Greece are also reissued in this series.)
He arrived to find the country (still not recovered from the
Napoleonic wars) in turmoil, with an ongoing struggle between the
recently restored absolutist King Ferdinand VII and a liberal
faction in the army. He combines his epistolary account of the
beginning of the so-called 'liberal triennium' (three years of
liberal rule from 1820) with a general view of the land, people and
culture of Spain, in a series of sixteen letters and an extended
postscript.
Edward Blaquiere (1779 1832), an Irishman of Huguenot descent,
joined the Royal Navy in 1794 and served, chiefly in the
Mediterranean, throughout the Napoleonic wars. In 1820, influenced
by Jeremy Bentham, he went on his behalf to Spain to observe the
revolution there. On the fall of the liberal regime in Spain in
1823, Blaquiere and his friend John Bowring formed the London Greek
Committee to raise money for the Greek war of independence and to
lobby the British government for support. (It was under the
auspices of the Committee, and recruited by Blaquiere, that Lord
Byron made his famous, and fatal, journey to Greece.) Blaquiere
published this book in 1824, emphasising his credentials as an
eyewitness of events. An account of his second visit in 1824 is
also reissued in this series, and the two works describe both
events in Greece and the internal quarrels among its philhellene
supporters."
