This book presents Hungary as it stood in the 1860s, focusing on the period between the fall of the Hungarian Revolution of 1848 and the compromise of 1867 that re-established the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The author, an Englishman who traveled extensively in Hungary at the time, provides a detailed and insightful account of the country's political, social, and cultural conditions during this period of transition. The author argues that the most pressing issue facing Hungary in the wake of the revolution was the conflict between the Hungarian nation and the various nationalities within its borders. The Magyars, as Hungarian nobles were known, made up only about half the population of Hungary but sought to dominate the rest, creating tensions that would eventually explode in the Revolution of 1848. The author also discusses the impact of foreign influence on Hungary, from the legacy of Turkish rule to the growing influence of German culture. He argues that Hungary's position as a buffer between Eastern and Western Europe left it vulnerable to outside interference and made it difficult for the country to forge its own unique identity. Overall, this book provides a valuable historical perspective on the complex political, social, and cultural issues that Hungary faced during this time and offers insight into the forces that shaped its development in the years that followed.
