FRIEDRICH THIERSCH: De l Etat actuel de la Grece et des moyens d arriver a sa Restauration .Leipzig 1833 First edition. In 8vo 20 x 14 cm, contemporary leather over marbled boards. Text with some scattered browning and spotting. Complete in two volumes: [24], 464 p., [1]; [16], 325 p. Overall in very good condition. Thiersch (1784–1860), a famous German classical scholar, was also an ardent supporter of Greek Independence and an important Philhellene throughout the years of the Greek struggle. A street in central Athens (Θιέρσου) still bears his name. He also played a crucial role in securing the Greek crown for Othon. This is his main publication on Greece, issued in French. The work is of great importance, as after a detailed presentation of Greece in the aftermath of the War, he proposed concrete steps to establish a functional Greek state. These proposals and his advice, however, were never materialized.
