THE HELLENES
OF
ENSLAVED GREECE
(ALBANIA, THESSALY, NOT YET WHOLLY FREE,
AND MACEDONIA),
THESE
GREEK FOLK-SONGS
ARE DEDICATED,
WITH THE EARNEST WISH OF
THE TRANSLATOR AND EDITOR,
THAT THEIR JOINT WORK
IN GIVING SOME BETTER KNOWLEDGE OF,
AND KEENER SYMPATHY WITH,
A PEOPLE
WHOSE SPIRIT AND SENTIMENT
ARE STILL CLASSICAL
MAY GAIN HELP FOR A LAST AND SUCCESSFUL STRUGGLE
FOR THE COMPLETION
OF
HELLENIC INDEPENDENCE.
