Summary/Abstract: In the previous issue, we published a letter sent to N. fr. Lloyd, apparently from Vienna, in which the non-Magyar nations of the Lands of the Crown of Saint Stephen [Uhorsko] are admonished against cherishing false expectations that, along with Mr Hohenwart’s pre-Litava agreement, the days of more liberal national existence must be dawning also upon them; instead, they should rather grasp the “hand diffidently offered” to them by the Hungarians [Maďari], whereby they eventually forced the latter into considerable concessions; in a word, so that they never expected anything from Vienna, but everything possible from Pest: for from Vienna, disillusion, reactionism, and absolutism may only come over once again; the fruits of true freedom would arrive from Pest, instead.
