THE "WAR IN HUNGARY. Now Ready.<br />

MEMOIRS OF AN~HUNGARIAN LADY.<br />

BY THERESA rULSZKY.<br />

WITH AN HISTORICAL INTRODUCTION<br />

BY FRANCIS PULSZKY.<br />

In one neat volume, royal 13mo., extra cloth.<br />

We need hardly inform our readers that the authoress <strong>of</strong> this work is the accomplished<br />

wife <strong>of</strong> the gentleman who was originally accredited to the Enalish Cabinet<br />

by the Provisional Government <strong>of</strong> Hungary. The private Interest attaching to the<br />

recital <strong>of</strong> events which have become so famous, would ensure a wide popularity for<br />

Madame Pulszky's book. But we should very ninch underestimate its value if we so<br />

limned our praise. The Memoirs, indeed, contain sketches <strong>of</strong> social life which are<br />

worthy <strong>of</strong> a place by the side <strong>of</strong> Madame de Slahl de Launay and Madame Campan.<br />

But lliey are also rich in political and topographical information <strong>of</strong> the first character.<br />

Madame Pulszky was in the habit <strong>of</strong> direct intercourse with the foremost and most<br />

distinguished <strong>of</strong> the Hungarian generals and statesmen, and has given a complete<br />

summary <strong>of</strong> the political events in Hungary, from the arrival <strong>of</strong> the Hungarian Deputation<br />

in 1S4>?, to the treason <strong>of</strong> General Georgy on the 13lh <strong>of</strong> August, 1S49 M. Pulszky<br />

has also prefixed a valuable introduction, which gives the most complete History<br />

<strong>of</strong> Hungary that has ever issued from the English press.— Globe.<br />
