9/48 Well, I acknowledge that Almus and Arpad were great men, but Hungary has produced many greater; I will not trouble you by recapitulating all, but there is one name I cannot forbear mentioning--but you have heard of it--even at Horncastle the name of Hunyadi must be familiar. It may be so, though I rather doubt it; but, however that may be, I confess my ignorance. I have never, until this moment, heard of the name of Hunyadi. Not of Hunyadi Janos, not of Hunyadi John--for the genius of our language compels us to put a man's Christian name after his other; perhaps you have heard of the name of Corvinus? |
