Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Andronike: The Heroine of the Greek Revolution
Never was the attention of mankind more turned to Greece than during the year that is closing. With feverish interest and anxiety, millions the world over have watched her brief desperate struggle against fearful odds. Her hopes and her future now seem crushed. She is a victim, bound and laid upon the altar, overcome by the superior strength of the Ottomans and by the hostility of the European powers. Her antagonist, the Ottoman Em pire, is to-day stronger and more formidable than it has been at any time since the Battle of Navarino, seventy years ago.
