Preface
The following work is not intended to be either a history of Hungary, or a biography of Kossuth; and I indulge the hope, that the critical reader will not look down upon it from too high a stand-point. Perhaps a frank statement of the circumstances, by which I was led to its composition, will be the best justification I can offer for its imperfections, as well as the most satisfactory exposition of its design.
...
With this frank avowal, therefore, of all the facts and circumstances connected with the preparation of this volume, I commit it to the public with the hope, that it may contribute something to a more perfect understanding of the Hungarian revolution, as well as awaken a more lively interest in the welfare of the most interesting people of modern Europe.
