CSENGERY, ANTON (1822-1880), Hungarian publicist, and a historical writer of great influence on his time, was born at Nagyvarad on the end of June 1822. He took, at an early date, a very active part in the literary and political movements immedi ately preceding the Hungarian Revolution of 1848. He and Baron Sigismund Kemeny may be considered as the two founders of high-class Magyar journalism. After 1867 the greatest of modern Hungarian statesmen, Francis Deak, attached Csengery to his personal service, and many of the momentous state documents inspired or suggested by Deal( were drawn up by Csengery. As a historical writer he excelled chiefly in brilliant and thoughtful essays on the leading political personalities of his time, such as Paul Nagy. Bertalan, Szemere and others. He died at Budapest on the lath of July 1880.
