BIBLIOGRAPHY

A mere list of names would be worse than useless to the reader, and he can hardly be expected to read through all the authorities for himself. No attempt has been made to criticize them in detail, but brief comments have been added for the guidance of the reader regarding the more controversial books and pamphlets quoted. A severe verdict upon a particular author's attitude towards the nationalities does not necessarily involve a condemnation of his views on other historical questions.

Those books which are marked with an asterisk may safely be regarded as indispensable to a study of the question, and I have therefore dispensed with all further comment upon them, as also upon the stan­dard works cited in the first section.

I cannot emphasize too strongly the fact that a comparison of the Hungarian Laws with the official statistics published by the Govern­ment and with the public speeches of Hungarian statesmen, supply the real clue to the results at which I have arrived.

(N.B.Wherever a German or other translation is available I have cited it by preference, since the reader cannot be expected to consult Magyar, Czech or Slovak originals.)

(8) BOOKS IN ENGLISH ON HUNGARY AND THE MAGYARS.

Paget, John. Hungary and Transylvania. 2 vols. London, 1839. (An admirable book of travel.)

Pardoe, Julia. The City of the Magyar. 3 vols. London, 1840. (Sentimental Reisbilder, very inaccurate.)

Paton, A. A. Researches on the Danube and the Adriatic. 2 vols. Leipzig, 1861. (His strictures on Magyar racial policy might have been written to-day.)

Boner, Charles. Transylvania: its products and its people. London, 1865. Far the best book of Transylvanian travel in any lan­guage. Very partial to the Saxons, who still quote it to-day as a standard work.

* Patterson, Arthur J. The Magyars. 2 vols. London, 1869. An admirable book, based on intimate knowledge of the Magyars, to whose ideal side he does full justice; but of little use for a study of the racial question. On p. 2 he says, "I know little or nothing from personal acquaintance of the Slovak area on the north­east, or of the Croatians and Serbs along the southern frontier."

Felbermann, Louis. Hungary and its People. London, 1892. Wholly unreliable, and in so far as the Slovaks are concerned, little short of libellous. On p. 210 we read, "Whilst the Magyars are now one of the most cultured and advanced races in Europe, there being scarcely a peasant who cannot read or write, the Slovaks, on the other hand, remain almost as ignorant as their ancestors were when Arpád conquered Hungary ; and therefore we must come to the conclusion that the Slavs are inferior to the Magyars."[1] He adds, "If we have to define the general character of the Slovak peasants, we must describe them as ignorant and cowardly, so much so that a Magyar boy can often frighten a whole gang of Slovaks." Such assertions are unworthy of a serious writer, the more so as they are untrue.

[1] In reality, in 1900, only 51.4 p.c. of the population of Hungary (without Croatia) could read and write61.2 p.c. of those over the age of 6 (U. S. J. xii. p. 353) and the percentage of analphabets is actually lower among the Slovaks than the Magyars!

[2] The word "trávnice" means the girls who mow grass and sing on their way to work: the word came gradually to mean all songs set to a slow tune in Alexandrine verses.
