Title:: The Ionian Academy
Scope & Content:: By the Treaty of Paris (1815), the Ionian Islands became a protectorate of Great Britain, and in the same year North began discussions about a possible Ionian University with Ioannis Kapodistrias, the Greek diplomat and eventual first head of state of independent Greece. This part of the collection includes many letters relating to the Ionian Academy, from both before and after its foundation in 1824. North's correspondents on the subject include academics, scientists, the nobility, diplomats, government officials and clergy, mostly Italian but also from throughout Europe. Copies of his own letters and replies are frequently present. There are letters from the following Professors of the Academy: Ioannis Aristeidis, Francis Belfour, Giovanni Carandino, Georgios Falireus, Theoklitos Farmakidis, Christoforos Filitas, Gaetano Grassetti, Leopoldos Joss, Nikolaos Maniakis, Nikolaos Pikkolo, Athanasios Politis, Stamatello Pylarinos, Konstantinos Sakellaropoulos, Georgio Teriano and Giovanni Turlinos. There are lists of books and scientific equipment purchased for the Academy. There are also numerous Greek and Italian petitions addressed to North (some from refugees), and many letters dealing with administrative matters addressed to North's assistant, and Professor of English in the Academy, James Lusignan. As part of the valuation of the papers at Christie's, North's Greek correspondents were identified and the contents of their letters briefly summarised in English. The slips of paper on which this was done have been retained with the letters; each has been placed immediately after the letter to which it refers.
