appearance of a town . The cottages which I had built two years ago , in a spot which was intended for a faubourg , are disappearing , and giving place 10 handsome and commodious houses . It is called the Faubourg of Pronia , or Providence .
The line of a great road leading to Argos is almost completed , and the journey thither is made in an hour and a quarter . The appearance of Argos is rery striking : more than one hundred and fifty new whire houses have risen up ; and if the same activity continues , it will soon become a handsome city .
In my frequent excursions , I have reason to be convinced , that in all the provinces some improvement is taking place . The inhabitants enjoy their tranquillity , and labour to ameliorate their condition . As soon as their external improvement shall have arrived at a certain degree , the moral improvement of the people will follow of course . The schools ,
also , must largely contribute to this . It is impossible to be well acquainted with the present situation of Greece , without being convinced that this country is making immense advances towards its moral and political regeneration . There still are some persons , natives and foreigners , who see things differently ; they
imagine it to be enslaved by its government , which does not yet call upon the people to take a constitutional part in its affairs . Every one is free to entertain his own opinion , but I cannot see any reason to change my own , or to alter ray line of conduct . The more ardently I desire to see Greece restored to the
rank of a free and independent nation , the more anxious do I feel to procure for her the means of arriving at this grand object in the shortest possible periodand to do this , I ought always to keep in mind the state to which she has been reduced by four centuries of servitude , and eight years of anarchy . As soon as Greece shall have risen
above her misfortunes by her own efforts , that is by labour , she will provide herself with constitutional laws . The elements of these laws are all prepared . They are already in action in each of the branches whose successive development will grow into constitutional order . The
senate is established for legislation , the ministers and the governors of provinces for the administration of the laws , and the tribunals for justice . All these institutions , in my opinion , are so many schools where our magistrates and rulers will be formed . The schools , properly

so called , of agriculture , of commerce , of navigation , of the arts , will give us citizens truly worthy of the name . I have given you these particulars , ray dear friend , because I know that some persons entertain a contrary opinion , though I am persuaded you will never adopt it . I am very far from seeking
the approbation of all men : let me but obtain it from those who conscientiously wish well to Greece , without being bigoted to any system . These are my inducements for giving you this rapid sketch of the state of the country , and of those principles from which its government is not disposed to depart . —From the Journal of Geneva .
