The Hungarian Language and Literature: the Age of Stephen I.; Influence of the House of Anjou; of the Reformation; of the House of Austria; Kossuth; Josika; Eoetvoes; Kuthy; Szigligeti; Petoefi.
The comedies and the dramas of Eoetvoes and Gal, and particularly those of Szigligeti, show great progress in the Hungarian theatre, while in the poems of Petoefi and others is heard the harmonious yet sorrowful voice of the national muse. After 1849, the genius of Hungary seemed for a while buried under the ruins of the nation.
Then, his heart bursting with jealousy and rage, he threw the package into the drawer from which he had taken it, and mechanically picked up a volume of De Musset, opening to some page which recalled his own suffering.

The soldiers of Josef Ladany, after threatening to march upon Vienna, had many times held in check the grenadiers and Cossacks of the field- marshal. Spirited and enthusiastic, his fair hair floating above his youthful forehead like an aureole, Ladany made war like a patriot and a poet, reciting the verses of Petoefi about the camp-fires, and setting out for battle as for a ball.
