Author Description

Excerpt from Hungarian Tales, Vol. 3 of 3 But notwithstanding the sunny smile which irradiated earth and her children, - nagy-bor°o and its inhabitants, - there existed a nook within its limits, whence, -as from the halls of the Inferno, - h0pe and sunshine were excluded a nook as cheerless as despotism's gloomiest dungeon - the chamber, in short, of the Fiscal of the district, or, as it was commonlv termed, the justice-court of the town. In this awful tribunal, a dead and dread silence prevailed; although, 'being a holiday of the Patriarchal Church, it was amply filled with the idlers of the town g - Hungarians, in their richly-braided pelisses, Illyrians, wearing a less gorgeous but far more fanciful costume, - and Croats, with their dare-all boldness. Of brow, and flowing amplitude of attire. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
