Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Letters and Journal (1848-49) Of Count Charles Leiningen-Westerburg: General in the Hungarian Army
In 1894, Count Albert Apponyi told me that the journal of Count leiningen-westerburg was still in existence, being preserved with a religious piety by Count Arminius (t1902), the only son of the celebrated general. At his express desire I under took the publication of the letters, journal, and memoranda here presented to the British public. After the lapse of two generations there could be no reason for withholding documents which could only serve to enrich our historical knowledge. The publication is unabridged, except for the omission of some expressions injurious to certain persons, which were left out at the request of Count Arminius; for the reader requires to possess a very strong objective sense in order to see in such declarations a source to be criticised and not an instrument to be used for personal and party purposes. Hard words agree with hard deeds: to us both are trange. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
