Select Speeches Of Kossuth (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781419146558)

""Select Speeches of Kossuth"" is a collection of speeches given by Lajos Kossuth, a Hungarian statesman and leader of the 1848 Hungarian Revolution against the Habsburg monarchy. The book includes some of his most famous speeches, such as his address to the Hungarian Parliament in 1848 and his speech to the American Congress in 1852. Kossuth's speeches are known for their passionate and persuasive language, as well as their calls for democracy, freedom, and national self-determination. The book provides insight into the political and social climate of Hungary during the mid-19th century and the struggles faced by those fighting for independence and democracy. It is a valuable resource for historians, political scientists, and anyone interested in the history of Hungary and the fight for democracy and human rights.In spite of such treatment, the Hungarian nation has all along respected the tie by which it was united to this dynasty; and in now decreeing its expulsion from the throne, it acts under the natural law of self-preservation, being driven to pronounce this sentence by the full conviction that the house of Lorraine-Hapsburg is compassing the destruction of Hungary as an independent State: so that this dynasty has been the first to tear the bands by which it was united to the Hungarian nation, and to confess that it had torn them in the face of Europe.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
