Download or read book An Account of Corsica, the Journal of a Tour to That Island; and Memoirs of Pascal Paoli written by James Boswell and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2006-01-12 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This first complete reprint of Boswell's book on Corsica since the eighteenth century is enhanced by comprehensive annotation, textual apparatus, and a critical introduction. Boswell designed his text in two parts: first, an Account of Corsica, which gives a historical, political, socio-economic, and cultural overview of the Corsican people, and second, the Journal of his tour to see the Corsican leader Pascal Paoli in 1765. This edition, unlike so many reprints of just the Journal, allows the reader to appreciate Boswell's original design. The young and adventuresome Boswell wanted to write a book that would swing public opinion, and perhaps the British government, to support the Corsicans in their struggle for independence. He was well aware that his English readers had but the haziest ideas about Corsica gleaned from but snatches of news in the papers. The first part would therefore provide the context within which to understand and appreciate his account of his journey to and meeting with Paoli. The complete text also illustrates aspects of Boswell that have received less attention than they might, namely, his sense of history, his political enthusiasm for national liberty, and his scholarship. He brings to the book a solid foundation in the Classics and the law, a facility in French and Italian, and a sensitivity to writing that, as the notes show, is evident in the reworking of his manuscript. The editors' introduction and the extensive annotation point up Boswell the scholar--assiduous, sedulous to get at the relevant sources, careful to do justice to those he disagreed with, and open about seeking and acknowledging advice. The text reveals Boswell as a serious and independent thinker and a writer committed to Corsica's independence. What he argued for and presumed was about to be achieved is still a matter of debate in Corsica and metropolitan France.

The Present State of Corsica, with respeci to the Government, Religion, Arms, Commerce, Learning, Genius and Character of its Inhabitants, AFTER running over the revolutions of an island, which has experienced so many vicissitudes, it will be agreeable to consider the result of these vigorous exertions in the cause of liberty. I shall, therefore, with much pleasure, present my readers with the state of Corsica as it now is. The government of Corsica is, as follows.Every paese or village, elects, by majority of votes, a Podesta and other two magistrates, who have the respectable name of f Padri del Commune; Fathers of the Community. These magistrates are chosen annually. They may be continued in office for several years, at the will of the community; but there must be a new election every year. The Podesta, by himself, may determine causes to the value of ten livres; and united with the Padri del Commune, may finally determine causes to the value of thirty livres. The Podesta is the representative of the government, and to him are addressed all the orders of the supreme council. The Padri del Commune superintend the conomy and police of the village, call the people together, and consult with them on every thing that concerns their interest. In some villages, the inhabitants join with the Podesta and Padri del Commune, twelve honest men, in whom they can confide, and to whom they delegate their power of settling the affairs of the publick. These are called counsellors, and sit as assessors with the three magistrates of the village. The names of these magistrates, as soon as elected, must be transmitted to the magistrates of the province, who have it in their power to oppose the choice, and order a new election;...
