From the Preface: 'As a political character, Ali Pacha, notwithstanding his distance from the centre of European politics, has succeeded in making his name famous by identifying it with events, which now excite the most intense interest. It has been observed, that extraordinary times produce extraordinary men; but the converse is true with regard to Ali, if to him may be attributed the present glorious struggle of the Greeks for liberty and independence. As an individual, the Vizier of Epirus, while he raises our horror and indignation at his crimes, astonishes us by the extraordinary energies of a mind at least a century beyond those of his countrymen in intelligence.’ ‘….the editor . has taken as his groundwork for the present Memoir, M. Beauchamp's French work, Vie d'Ali Pacha, which he has considerably enlarged by the occasional introduction of interesting passages from the works of some of those who have visited the late Tyrant of Epirus.'.
