Summary
Smith offers his opinions on Lajos Kossuth, the Hungarian revolutionary hero. Writes, I have not seen Kossuth:- but I have read his Speeches. The impression they have made upon me is, that he is not only transcendently eloquent- especially when his country, his deeply wronged country, is his theme- but that he is a man of extraordinary judgment, discernment, skill, tact: and that he is, moreover, eminently unselfish... Praises the growth of good principles that result from revolution. Includes a handwritten correction on page three.
