In one neat volume, royal12mo., extra cloth.

The private interest attaching to the recital of events which have become so famous , would en$ure a wide popularity for Madame Pulszky's book. But we should very mnch underestimate its value if we so limtted our praise. The Memoirs, indeed, contain sketches of social life which are worthy of a place by the side of Madame de Stahl de Launay and Madame Campan. But they are also rich in political and topographical information of the first character. l\Iadame Pnlszky was in the habit of direct intercourse with the foremost and most ~~~ga~;~~dili: ~~fiti~~~~!~~~ i~e~tu';~~r~~~r~~t~h~:~;i:~ldoftt~ f~~~;a~i~~Ife';~: tation in 1848, to the treason of General Georgy on the 13th of August, 1849. lVI.
