192 FÜZES MIKLÓS váljék egy nyilvánvalóan előre eltervezett coup d'état előidézésének s ő biztosított engem arról, hogy nem fogja eltűrni, hogy ilyen célokra felhasználják. Hamarosan megmutatták nekem azt a Récsey báró áltál jóváhagyott kiáltványt, amely Magyarország függetlenségének megszüntetését tervezi. Azonnal Récseyhez mentem és szemrehányást tettem neki, amiért nincs benne We are describing the persons of the memoir here by their relationship with Batthyány, showing you the opinion of the memoir - literature and the judgement based on the result of histiography. General Mészáros is described briefly but nice. Their personal realtionship was cordial. General Damjanich is shown as the impersonaНод of national feeling. The anthor stresses his heroic frame and fonce of nature. He was an expert in tactics but was inexperienced in politics so Görgei could easly exercise an ifluence on him. Vérezel after briefly showing the main events of his life, Batthyány describes the circumstances of the battle of Velence, 1848, in details by the help of directly gained facts. Showing the contradictions of his military career, Batthyány appreciates his merits but considers his selfappointment for the post of the Commandor-in-Chief vanity. Nyári took part in the struggles of the opposition but after obtaining the power he becanne moderate. His policy was that of the peace-party so he became an opponent of Batthyány who describes his former fighting mate in a very disadvantageous way. Czindery is an erample of the medium landowner who didn't fight in the war of independence but did in the counter-revolution. No wonder, Batthyány felt antipathy for him. határozottság, s beleegyezett, hogy aláírásával lásson el egy ilyen törvénytelen dokumentumot. Ez a dokumentum annyira semmibe vett minden törvényt, hogy csak egy Magyarország ellen irányuló önkényes hadüzenetnek tarthattam, melynek kibocsátása után a magyaroknak nincs más választásuk, mint felkészülni hazájuk védelmére. Pázmándy and Szentkirályi: the author is averse to them because of their perfidiousness. Pulszky: his contradictory career in analysed in details. His activity in England and his part in Kossuth's emigration is dealt with anything but congeniality. Deák's activity is shown in a few words only. The author stesses his honesty and his rational judgement in political affairs. Louis Batthyány after indtroducing his character and intellectual power the author shows us his political views and the essence of them: the sympathy with Autsria. His tragedy in that the Camarilla set him a trap, deceived him and had him executed. The author thinks that his condemnation to death was one of the most illegitimate and perfidions act in history. Kossuth introducing him is a pretext for the author to present his own, views to express his own opinion. He shows us the main events of the reform era and the war of independence, he talks about his contemporaries' faults and merits, first of all those of Görgei and Kossuth, holding them responsible for the following events. In the tinne of writing the 'Characteristic Sketches' the relationship between Batthyány and Görgei worsened, we can clearly see it by the author's judgement. The unkown Batthyány III.
