Excerpt from Rural and Historical Gleanings From Eastern Europe
Dear Lady Langdale,
It is not mere private regard, but rather admiration of your generous conduct towards the fugitive members of that land from whence these Gleanings were gathered, that induces me to take advantage of your cordial permission to dedicate this volume to you.
With reference to the work itself, I may state, that I am indebted for the materials of which it is composed partly to the kindness of a friend, who, during a long sojourn in Hungary, acquired an accurate knowledge of that land, as well as of its inhabitants; and partly to the living chronicles of their own and their country"s misfortunes, the exiles, whom the force of the political earthquake of 1848 cast upon our shores.
