Except for the final document, Kossuth's speech in Washington in 1852, these texts were scanned from Henry M. De Puy, Kossuth and His Generals (Buffalo: Phinney & Co., 1852). The volume was one of several American books about Kossuth that appeared on the occasion of his speaking tour in the United States in 1851-1852. The page breaks of the 1852 edition have been identified in order to facilitate reference to this edition. De Puy's source for the revolutionary documents that he reproduces may have been General Gyorgy Klapka's Memoirs of the War of Independence in Hungary (London: Charles Gilpin, 1850; translated from a Leipzig edition of the same year) and Theresa Pulszky's Memoirs of a Hungarian Lady (Philadelphia: Lea and Blanchard, 1850). The translations have not been checked for accuracy against the original documents.
