Vámbéry describes the land and people of Hungary, then the Magyars’ origins and arrival in the Danube basin, the conversion under St. Stephen, the kings of the house of Árpád and the Anjous, John Hunyadi’s wars against the Turks, the reign of King Matthias, and the national decline that followed. Later chapters carry the story into the nineteenth century.
