Excerpt from Hungary and Transylvania, Vol. 1: With Remarks on Their Condition, Social, Political, and Economical Before proceeding with this Work, there are one or two matters which I may as well explain to the reader. Such a mark of my confidence will, I trust, incline him not only to treat me more leni ently, but enable him also to judge of me more fairly, and so accuse me only of those faults of which I am really guilty.

Most of the squares are very well built, but, from want of some object in the centre, 234 SAND-STORM. look bare and deserted, besides giving ample room for the accumulation of those heaps of sand with which Pest is infested. This sand is one of the miseries of Pest; it is so fine that it enters into everything, destroys furniture, and blinds and chokes the inhabitants worse than a London fog. 'A sandstorm is something dreadful here. The country round Pest is a sandy plain, --there are few trees or gardens in the outskirts of the place, nothing to break the force of the wind; so that, when it once gathers into a storm, it marches forward, drawn on by the current of the Danube, and traverses the wide streets of Pest almost without opposition.
