The late Francis Deak, the Hungarian Patriot, 1876. 'The funeral of this patriotic Hungarian statesman, to whom chiefly is due the reconciliation between the national Kingdom of Hungary and the Austrian Empire, with the restoration of self-government to the Magyar people, was celebrated at Buda-Pesth...in a manner that showed the immense gratitude of his countrymen....even those who were most vehemently opposed to him in his life will not deny that Francis Deak merited the esteem and regard of his fellow-countrymen'. From "Illustrated London News", 1876.
