"It is a graphic picture of the people and institutions of Hungary at the present moment by one who writes what he saw and heard, and who was well qualified co judge."--_Troy Daily Post._ "He mingled much in the social life of every class of the Hungarian people, and there can be no question that he has presented a faithful picture of the condition, manners, customs, and feelings of the Magyars."--_Portland Transcript._ "The best and most reliable work that we possess, in regard to Hungary as it now is, and the only one written from personal observation."--_Phil. Evening Bulletin._ "It tells us precisely what the mass of readers wish to know in regard to the condition of Hungary since the Revolution. Having travelled over large portions of the country on foot, and mingling freely with the inhabitants in their houses, the author relates his various experiences, many of which are sufficiently strange to figure in a romance."--_N. Y. Tribune._ "This book is exceedingly entertaining. These are clear, unambitious narratives, sound views, and abundant information. We get a perspicuous view of the people, life, and character of the country, and learn more of the real condition of things than we could elsewhere obtain."--_N. Y. Evangelist._ "Its narrative is fluent and graceful, and gives the most vivid and complete, and the most faithful picture of Hungary ever presented to American readers."--_Courier and Inquirer._ "For graphic delineation, and extent of knowledge of the subject described, Mr. Brace has no equal, at least in print."--_The Columbian and Far West._ "We have read it carefully, and have no hesitation in saying that it presents a complete idea of Hungary and her people as they were and are. Mr. Brace has the happy and rare faculty of making the reader see what he saw, and feel what he felt."--_The Eclectic._ "He has succeeded in gathering the fullest and most satisfactory amount of information in regard to Hungary that we have seen. His description of the Hungarian Church and the religious character of the people are especially interesting, and the whole volume is a valuable addition to our knowledge of the interior of Europe."--_Watchman and Observer._ "This excellent work is not one of proesy details and dry statistics, but is composed of the most familiar and intimate glimpses of Hungarian life, written in the most graceful style."--_Worcester Spy._ RURAL HOMES; Or, SKETCHES OF HOUSES suited to American Country Life.
