Produced by Keren Vergon, Rich Magahiz and PG Distributed Proofreaders "Select Speeches of Kossuth" by Lajos Kossuth, condensed and abridged by Francis W. Newman, is a collection of political orations written in the mid-19th century. The book documents Kossuth's impassioned addresses as he advocates for Hungarian independence and the broader ideals of liberty and self-determination, drawing attention to the struggles faced by his homeland under Austrian and Russian rule. The beginning of this collection introduces the reader to Kossuth's fervent oratory style and the significant context surrounding his speeches. The preface elaborates on the immense popularity Kossuth garnered across Europe, likening his influence to historical figures like Peter the Hermit. It discusses the complexity of his speeches which, while rich in rhetoric, also require careful condensation to resonate in written form. Key themes presented include Hungary's legal claim for independence, national rights, and the moral obligations of nations to support each other against tyranny. This opening sets the stage for his calls to action and profound reflections on freedom, justice, and international solidarity that permeate the collection.
