features of the seals is the various ornament (Csoknya 3-, Csombárd 4., Drávafok 2., 7.). From the loan seals the ones carved with the variations of the motive of a flower growing from the heart stand out this time. From the badges expressing a traditional agricultural feature the following seals merit a study of iconography of their own with their typical representation; Csököly 1., Csurgó 3., Drávaszentmárton 4., and Endréd 4.

The author examines three correlating events from the time of the Napoleonic wars, which were not widely known so far. 'Hie study throws light on the fact that Pálóczi Horváth Ádám had marital relationship at Nagygörbő in Zala county 7 too. We come to know interesting information about the insurrection at Tapsony from the letter of Patyi Antal, the parson of Bajom. Finally we can read about the parsons work at Bajom, which gives the authentic cross-section of the parochial life at Sárd-Bajom.

(Part 1. ) The author examines what economic and cultural conditions made it possible for the country town of Nagyatád to be the center of a political movement, the starting point of defending the peasants. We can follow the historical past of the settlement and its main stages. The study lets us take a glance at the life of the agricultural population, we can keep track of the changes in ownership, the different branches of cultivation, the quantitative and qualitative development of the livestock. Taking these facts into account, the author says that at the turn of the 19th—20th centuries the majority of the agricultural population was hired agricultural laborers and agricultural laborers of the big manor. The small holdings disintegrated at the borders of the country town, they lay scattered in several small stretcnes of land. The condition of the peasantry was predetermined by the structure of estates in the long run too. It is not at all by sheer chance that it was in this country town that Nagyatádi Szabó István launched the smallholders' movement and worked out its program.

We get information about archival sources concerning the emigration. Finally we are given a picture of the economic and financial conditions of the emigrants. Taking into account the jobs and the financial situations of 706 emigrants, it proves that it was not the hired agricultural laborers and the poorest people of the society that took to the road.
