Eötvös, Jozsef, Hungarian statesman and author, born at Buda; adopted law as a profession, but devoted himself to literature, and eventually politics; Minister of Public Instruction, and then of Worship and Education; published some powerful dramas and novels, notably “The Village Notary,” a work pronounced equal in many respects to the best of Scott's novels; also vigorous political essays (1813‒1871).
