HUNGARY is a country, of which our knowledge, from 

 the very little intercourse maintained with it, is exceed- 

 ingly imperfect. The duties of a recent traveller, M. 

 Beudant, led him to explore and survey that remote un- 

 visited region, with the design of collecting, ascertaining, 

 and adopting, on a systematic principle, all such new, but 

 scattered information, as was to be found in a large sphere 

 of remark and enquiry, upon the subject of geology. 



But while paying due attention to the principal and 

 avowed object, he deemed it of importance to accom- 

 plish another by it, that of observing and desorj'h'ng what 



the means given, and the opportunities afforded, would 

 enable him to learn, during his short stay, respecting the 

 customs and manners, the taste, habits, and character, of 

 the inhabitants, the chief part of which has been carefully 

 preserved in the following translation. 



G. SIDNEY, Printer, 

 Northumberland Street, Strand.
