Select Speeches Of L Kossuth PDF Download

Excerpt from Kossuth and His Generals: With a Brief History of Hungary; Select Speeches of Kossuth; Etc Historic accuracy and impartiality have been a principal aim. That they have been fully attained in matters where the author ities - often themselves interested parties vary, and where the smoke of a recent contest has not yet disappeared, will hardly be expected. N o attempt is here made to glorify the distinguished Kossuth as a perfect hero, nor to answer the several newspaper charges which have appeared against him. The record of history, to which this is a humble and imperfect contribution, will assign him his just place, among the defenders of human liberty. It may not be improper, however, to remind the reader, that Power, Gold, and Diplomacy have long arms, which can easily span an ocean; that the immense interests of Despotism are at stake; and that ambition, vanity, envy, partizan animosity, selfish fear and other unworthy passions, may be, as they ever have been, wielded by great existing powers, against their prominent assail ants. Every friend of truth, then; will hear both sides, before allowing a noble sympathy for an oppressed nation, to be crushed by personal attacks upon its most eloquent champion.
