Synopsis

A Refutation Of The Charge Of Imposition And Fraud. Made. Against The Baroness Von Beck by Constant Derra De Moroda. This pamphlet, originally published in 1851, compiles documentary evidence and witness statements to exculpate Baroness Wilhelmine von Beck from alleged imposture following her arrest in Birmingham, England. Collected and presented by Constant Derra De Moroda, the work recounts the events surrounding her 1851 detention, her illness, and the subsequent death during the police proceedings, while offering a collection of testimonies, letters, and translations from Hungarian émigrés and associates. The volume argues that the Baroness was a legitimate agent and benefactor of the Hungarian cause, and that the charges against her were politically motivated. It includes affidavits by Daniel von Kaszonyi, other Hungarian officers, and allied witnesses, and discusses the broader context of the Hungarian War of Independence and its émigré networks. The work aims to restore her reputation and illuminate the contested evidence raised in the Birmingham case.
