KOSSUTH LAJOS DIED A CENTURY AGO (Summaries) Kossuth Lajos, the outstanding political leader of the revolution and war of independence of 1848-49 died a century ago, on March 20, 1894. Our periodical dedicates the present issue to his memory. Pajkossy Gábor: Kossuth and the governmental terror of 1835-1839. The article introduces the beginnings of Kossuth's political career m their relationship to the iron-handed policy serving centralization on the part of the Austrian administration. As a results of this „governmental terror" Kossuth was put to prison but this measure could tear him out of Hungarian political life only temporarily. Veliky János: Kossuth as a promoter of industry. Kossuth's attitude towards industry was an organic part of his ideas about bourgeois development. Since Hungary had to step over several stages of development at a time to obtain the desired results, Kossuth applied both Mercantilism and an a liberal economic policy. His concept of promoting industry took the needs of the society into consideration. Egyed Ákos: Kossuth Lajos and the Szeklers in 1848. The article offers first a short survey of the problems of the Szekler society going back to the previous centuries, then analyzes the reactions of the Szeklers to the revolution in Hungary. The greater part of the article is devoted to Kossuth's efforts to win the Szekler military to serve the Hungarian cause. Urbán Aladár: Kossuth Lajos and the release of the Italian prisoners of Szeged m October, 1848. The so-called „precettati" of the Austrian province Lombardy-Venice kept in prison without judgement for political reasons and for reasons of public security were deported to the dungeon of Szeged in Hungary from 1831 onwards. When organizing the insurrection of the Hungarians on the Great Plains against the invading Croatian army in the autumn of 1848, Kossuth Lajos reached Szeged as well. Since the Austrian government had not kept its promise made in ^e summer of that year to transfer the prisoners from the town, Kossuth gave orders on October 5 to transport them to Pest, while the parliament passed a resolution as to their discharge. Some of these Italians took part in the operations against the Austrians. Spira György: Extracts from Kossuth's papers. The article introduces hitherto unknown documents on Kossuth's efforts to have Hungarian independence recognized abroad and on the relationship of Kossuth and Görgei Artúr, one of the supreme military leaders of the Hungarian revolution.
