Kempelen Béla - A nemesség

"(...) When writing this book, which covers all the information that someone could possibly need in matters of nobility, two aspects floated before my eyes: to briefly outline the background of the nobility, the most important events in its history and its privileged public and private legal position; the other: to provide information on all noble issues that arise. The true patriot will perhaps find in both parts of it everything that he can look for in it in view of these two aspects: he will not be pleased with the glorious, bright historical background of the nobility, but will draw from it an example and strength to fulfill his duty to the homeland and will find reliable guidance in all of this. in matters that concern the preservation of the old light of the nobility despite the changed circumstances. The institution, which has stood its ground for a thousand years, undoubtedly has the right to live in the second millennium as well. However, this right is opposed by duties, and the fulfillment or neglect of these duties determines the conditions for the continued existence of the institution. My book fulfilled its purpose if it provided guidance to all those who come to it and made the reader think for at least a moment about the past and future of the nobility. ; I couldn't undertake more without being modest, and I didn't want to give less."
