Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Greece and the Greeks of the Present Day, Vol. 9
In the villages, and in the uncivilized districts, away from the capital, the traveller may meet with hospitality; but in the capital, none; yet probably on the lucus a non lucendo principle, modern Greek has no word for a house, - it goes by the name of Spiti, from the Latin hospitz'um - the etymo logical value of its name is the beginning and end of its hospitality.
