The Revolutionary Movement of 1848-9 in Italy, Austria-Hungary, and Germany Part 19

FOOTNOTES:

[20] I must admit that my estimate of Gorgei is, in many respects, lower than that of men whose opportunities of observing the facts, and whose general candour of judgment ent.i.tles their opinion to great respect. I can only plead that the severest judgments which I have pa.s.sed upon him are founded upon his own memoirs; that is, partly upon the facts narrated in them, and partly upon the tone in which they are written.

[21] This was the t.i.tle of the Emperor Ferdinand in his capacity of King of Hungary.

[22] It will observed that the Roumanians used, wherever possible, the old Roman t.i.tles, in order to a.s.sert their connection with ancient Rome.

[23] The Council which advised the Ban.

[24] A Bolognese priest, who followed Garibaldi partly in the character of a chaplain and partly as aide-de-camp. See "The Disciples," by Mrs.
