 a Hungarian patriot, born in Pesth, Feb. 11, 



1811, committed suicide in the same city a* the 

 above date. He was educated at Pesth and 

 Patak, and gained a high reputation as a writer 

 and scholar. In 1843 he commenced his politi- 

 cal career, and soon took strong ground for 

 Hungarian independence. In 1848 he was sent 

 as envoy of the Hungarian Government to Paris 

 to urge the recognition of the Hungarian na- 

 tionality. The close of the war found him an 

 exile, under sentence of death. He resided 

 abroad for 11 years, but visiting Dresden in 



1860, he was arrested by the Saxon police and 

 delivered to the Austrian Government, but con- 

 ditionally pardoned by the emperor, Franz Jo- 

 seph. He entered the Hungarian Diet in April, 



1861, and commenced his opposition to the em- 

 peror anew, but probably his scruples of honor 

 concerning his pledged word of honor to the 

 emperor induced his suicide.
