Description of Corsica by Mercator in The Dublin Journal
A lengthy 1748 Corsica description details the island between Sardinia and Italy, its geography and resources, and the Genoese rule. It traces Corsican revolts led by Theodore, Baron de Neuhof, and Girolamo Ria, noting sieges, alliances, and the island’s quest for independence with foreign aid from Vienna, London, and Turin.
