Excerpt from Sketches in Remembrance of the Hungarian Struggle for Independence and National Freedom: In the Years 1848, 1849, 1850& 1851 IN delivering to the subscribers this volume explanatory of my sketches of the late Hunga rian struggle for national freedom, I beg to offer a few remarks on behalf of my work, and, at the same time, to return my best thanks for the kindness with which it has been received. Both the artistic and literary parts of the work will show that the greatest pains have been taken to justify the confidence reposed in me, the drawings having been executed by eminent artists, and the text supplied by pens fully equal to the task.
