He was widely honoured during his lifetime, including in the United Kingdom and the United States, as a freedom fighter. Kossuth was the leader of the European revolution; his speech was read aloud in the streets of Vienna to the mob by which Metternich was overthrown. Download Description In spite of such treatment, the Hungarian nation has all along respected the tie by which it was united to this dynasty; and in now decreeing its expulsion from the throne, it acts under the natural law of self-preservation, being driven to pronounce this sentence by the full conviction that the house of Lorraine-Hapsburg is compassing the destruction of Hungary as an independent State: so that this dynasty has been the first to tear the bands by which it was united to the Hungarian nation, and to confess that it had torn them in the face of Europe.
