Κείμενο:

The same improvements are carrying on here as at Corfu; and the same admirably clean streets and superb roads attest the presence and exertions of the English. It is truly delightful to observe the astonishing improvement which a few years have made in these Islands, and which is clearly discernible when compared with the traces of barbarism which yet remain. Little more than ten years since, they presented merely a scene of anarchy, bloodshed, and poverty: now, their increasing trade, the protection of their mercantile interests, the security of lives and property, their public buildings, their roads, the improvements in their revenue, the removal of popular sedition, and the contentment so clearly discernible in the population, render these Islands an object of envy and admiration, and afford their inhabitants lasting occasions for gratitude to Great Britain.
