In 1823 the London Greek Committee for the promotion of Greek independence from Ottoman rule was formed and Byron unanimously elected a member. The scheme excited Byron`s imagination and he determined to @go up to the Levant in July if the Greek provisional Government think that I could be of any use@. Byron sailed for Missolonghi on 5 February 1824 where Pietro Gamba Byron`s co-campaigner in the Greek cause decided to issue a paper which he called Il Telegrafo Greco. The Prospectus was issued on 6 March 1824 and provoked immediate difficulties the editor choosing as its motto @Il mondo è nostra Patria e far del bene la nostra religione@ (@The world is our country and doing good our religion@ these words appear on the Prospetto in the present album). When news of this apparently radical and somewhat irreligious motto reached Byron he took issue with Gamba suggesting as an alternative @Foolishness to the Greeks@ (a reference to 1 Corinthians 1:23). On March 11 riding with Gamba Byron proposed and Gamba accepted a new motto for Il Telegrafo Greco a quotation of two lines from the Odyssey. This album contains the first issue of the prospectus for Il Telegrafo Greco. Six weeks later Byron was dead. Sir Augustus Clifford was born in the same year as Lord Byron and was his schoolfellow at Harrow. He followed a distinguished naval career and participated in many actions during the Napoleonic wars. In 1821 he was appointed to HMS Euryalus escorting Sir William Hamilton the British Ambassador to the court of Naples. In 1818 he became MP for Bandon and in 1832 was appointed Gentleman Usher of the Black Rod.
