      AUOTHBB 3 OOK . ON HUNGAKT . Hungary Past arid . Present : embracing its History from the Magyar Conquest to ( he Present Time . With a Sketch of Hungarian TAterature . By Em eric iSzabadj late Secretary under the 'Hungarian Government , ia 1849 . Adam and Charles Black The title of this instructive volume sufficiently indicates its contents . Hungarian history is sketched , as independently of German history as possible , ftom its earliest days ; and it certainly ix ^ rms not the least striking episode in the general history of Europe , it is the story of a gttlUnt race stniggHng writa an Advwrs * ifitte , ever pxessiag « n it fbom irathoirt ^ and of awiuntry , fertile and . weaitSry , constancy ravaged by tbfe bmae instruments of 'tveacherj ^ cruelty , mnd conquest . A history of Himffaryis opportane jnst now , when th ^ e English Grovernxnent and the English people need to be reminded that Austria , owr unwilling a ll y in tiriB Tirtkisn w * r , hssrbeen ever prone to acts of treachery in her deaubss with dther nations . The hisbory of H-onswry , in fact , resolres itself

      treachery effected what fair combat ponld . not win . The heroes of Hungarian history have all defended the Protestattts-, and it was reserved for England , when she did interfere , to betray them . There was an outcry about the attack which Islamism made on Christendom ; but the Turks behaved in Hungary and towards the Hungarians with far less tyranny and intolerance than the Hapsburghers , supported by tke swords of Italian hravoes . We talk of the . danger to European liberty from the Tusks ; but Austrian despotism and Tlonosn intolerance have ever . been dogging the steps of . freedom to ^ ah her from ^ e ^ hind v ^ hen she was powerful "but unguarded , to torture her" ^ h nn ^ ih « Dle cru ; eifi « a when she was-weak or overcome .

For ourselves , reviewing the history of Hungary , we cannot but believe that she will flouriflh » s a nation , when Austria la no longer remembered , except -as a ^ eoj ^ ap Moad expression .

Brat since the dav ^ s of Ccomweil our Protestantism has been nothing but a fK > ucy of protests ending ia the ¦ flourishing " peace and non-intervention " theories of Manchester . A policy of protests is a poEcy of negation and

We are loth to bring a charge of insincerity against any class of men , but when we hear Roman -Catholicism attacked so fiercely in a sister country , nay even nearer home , and when we have pro-of of the culpable apathy of the denunciators with regard to the Protestants

Your direst Protestants are all lories— : and readily support the Pope when , as Prince of Rome , he acts as an obstruction to a nation's liberty , or wink hard at the Austrian Emperor when , with the aid of Russian hordes , he tramples out Hungarian nationality , and destroys religious freedom . Yet let not Hungary despair . Six times within four hundred years she has single-handed shaken the power of Austria to ita centre , and only met with ucieat , arid not always with defeat , when Europe was in arms ajminst her : for
