The Baron's Sons: A Romance of the Hungarian Revolution of 1848 (Classic Reprint)

Revolution, deserted the Austrian army and hastened to their countrys aid. No chapter in all the authors writings exceeds this one in breathless interest and in the skilful handling of detail. The necessity of abridging the authors text, while regretted by no one more than by the translator, has, it is believed, tended to contribute to the story an element of unity and compacjtness which, owing to the undue elaboration of certain minor details, seems somewhat lacking in the original. It is with extreme hesitation and diffidence, however, that I venture, even in selfdefence, to impute the slightest blemish to a style in which so many of the authors admirers can see no fault. The curtailment has necessitated, in some chapters, a certain amount of adaptation, and a slight departure from strict literalness of rendering; but it is hoped that the spirit of the original has nowhere been sacrificed. p.
