It were the merest affectation to pretend that I do not expect many readers and more critics among the Hungarians themselves. To them I would only observe that I have aimed at candour and impartiality, and, if occasionally I have had to dwell upon their failings, it has been in no unfriendly spirit. This book contains no wilful misrepresentation of facts, although it may contain doubtless does many unintentional errors. For these my only excuse is the extreme difficulty which the most impartial observer experiences in endeavouring to comprehend a foreign people. At the same time, this book is written not for the Hungarian, but for the English teader.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a detailed examination of Hungary and, to a lesser extent, of Transylvania. Its author, clearly familiar with the region and its people, was able to get a nuanced sense of the various social classes and political parties influencing the country, especially the Hungarians themselves, who are at the heart of much of the historical narrative. The author visited Hungary several times, dating back to 1862. He had learned the Magyar language, which gave him access to a world that most of the English-speaking world could not understand, especially regarding the nuances that existed within Hungarian society. At the time of writing in 1862, the Hungarian nation was still rebuilding after the revolution of 1848-9. The author himself was present for the coronation of the present sovereign in 1867 and gives a first-hand account. The authorâs perspective is that of an outsider, which lends the book a sense of broad analysis and a unique perspective on the social and political structure of Hungary. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
