The notary's position was critical, his future doubtful, and his separation from his family painful in proportion. Tengelyi wanted all his strength of mind to speak words of consolation and hope to his weeping family. The despair of his daughter in particular filled his heart with the deepest, bitterest grief. Do not weep, dear girl said he, embracing poor Vilma, whose pallid face showed more than her tears what agonies she felt. You know your father is innocent. Things will clear up, and I shall be- allowed to return to you. Won't you be my good, happy girl, when I come back Oh, father cried Vilma, to think that you should go to prison, to be confined with those wicked people though but for a day, though but for an hour And to think that I am the cause of it, dear father, it drives me mad You, my daughter? What makes you think that your confession of Viola having been hid in thehouse can do any thing to make my case worse than it is? Father said she, sadly, don't talk to me in that way I am undeserving of your love. Will they not say you were aware of Viola's being in the house, and that you wished to deny it ? And even if this were not so, are not all our misfortunes owing to our having taken in Susi and her children ? And that was my doing And since that is the cause of your misfortune, interposed Vandory, I am sure God will not abandon you in your trials. His ways are indeed unaccountable; but I never heard of a good action having led a man to utter ruin Tengelyi sighed, but Vilma felt comforted; and even Mrs. Ershebet's sobs ceased when the curate told her that this unjust accusation was possibly the means to defeat their enemies, and to lead to the recovery of the documents. The notary added to the comfort ...

The Village Notary, originally published in 1845, presents a cross-section of Hungarian society in which the ruling elite were all too often lazy and self-seeking while the lesser lights, whatever their sterling qualities, were at their mercy and open to abuse. Eötvös's primary purpose was to expose the unsatisfactory nature of the traditional county administration. Hungary could hardly be considered a nation when so few of the people derived benefit or protection from the way that affairs were handled. The book holds a balance between racy tale and the author's frequently trenchant commentary on the Hungary of his time. In the English translation of 1850 it is significantly abridged in favor of the racy tale, thus diluting Eötvös's purpose not a little. The present translation is made from the unabridged Hungarian, and one must hope that while being better informed of Eötvös's aims the reader of this version will suffer no loss of entertainment.

Excerpt from The Village Notary, Vol. 1 of 3: A Romance of Hungarian Life His party advocated the institutions of the counties, the free election of civic magistrates, and the inde pendence of boroughs; and they stood ready to repel any direct or indirect blow which might be aimed at these institutions. This party was supreme, both in strength and in numbers. The middle classes and the gentry belonged to it; while Szechenyi's fol lowers were members of the high aristocracy, who resided in the metropolis, and who scarcely ever busied themselves about the county elections.
