Book excerpt: Excerpt from Kossuth in New England: A Full Account of the Hungarian Governor's Visit to Massachusetts; With His Speeches, and the Addresses That Were Made to Him, Carefully Revised and Corrected In making this collection of Kossuth's speeches in New England, I have thought it advisable to combine with it a descriptive account of his visit, with full details of the incidents of his reception in the various cities and towns. These are taken almost wholly from the local newspapers, and from the daily reports in the Boston and New York journals. I have used freely, the reports of Mr. Coggshall, in the Tribune; and still more freely those of Mr. List, in the Commonwealth. To the latter, in fact, I am indebted for most of the descriptive part, and for nearly all the copies I have used of Kossuth's speeches. In general, the reports of the visits are taken with as little alteration as possible, and a good deal has been admitted that my own taste would have led me to reject. But, as the record of a most interesting event in the history of Massachusetts, it seemed to me that the book ought to contain, as nearly as possible, the impression that Kossuth's visit made upon eyewitnesses, trained to observe and to communicate their observations, and the account of it that was read from day to day by the people, whose guest he was. The addresses made to Kossuth form an important part of the book. In almost every case, they have been revised, at my request, by the speakers themselves. On the whole, they well sustain the reputation of Massachusetts for eloquence ; and it may be doubted whether any other state which Kossuth visited can offer an equally respectable array of addresses to him.
