	H-Net Review: Paul E. Michelson on Chapters on the Hungarian Political Emigration, 1849-1867
		On the other hand, as Lukacs argues, though emigration leadership began to realize that their policy of trying to work with and through official circles in the West was not paying appropriate dividends, they were unable to appreciate the longer run implications of the events of 1855-1859.
		On the other hand, Lukacs clearly shows that the Hungarian emigration was more or less a failure because the European powers, especially Napoleon III and Bismarck, never really went beyond using the Magyars (and other smaller nationalities) as pawns in their own games.
		Lukacs' other goal, that of evaluating the activities of the emigration, is only partly achieved, both because of the subjective nature of the evidence and because he has a tendency to avoid assessment.

		In 1866, news of Prussia's dramatic victory over Austria at Koniggratz caused the papal secretary to exclaim "Casca il mondo!" (the world is collapsing).
		Given the importance of the events of 1866, the story of the "Seven Weeks War" deserves the scholarship and writing skills of a first-rate historian.

		It is interesting to observe what form this general tendency towards freedom assumes when it shows itself among a large body of Englishwomen; by what means they propose to work it out, and by what train of reasoning they seek to recommend it to their countrymen.
		It is probably the very fact to which we have referred, that, during the earlier period of our constitutional history, society was in so unsettled a state that women could not practically administer their own property, which led to women's not being included among the voters in the elections of members of Parliament.
		Even though it might be by no fault of their own that women could not govern their own property in those times, still it was not likely that they should be admitted to a share in the political government of property which was not actually under their management.
