Andras Fay, a Hungarian poet, born at Ko-hany, in the county of Zemplen, May 30, 1786, died July 26, 1864. He studied law, became an advocate, and subsequently officiated as an administrative officer of the county of Pesth, and in 1835 as its deputy at the diet. His feeble health obliged him to retire, and he thenceforth devoted himself to literature. He was one of the founders of the national theatre of Buda, and was an active member of the industrial society, of the society of arts, of the academy, etc. Among his poetical writings the most noted is his Mesek (" Fables," Vienna, 1820; 2d ed., 1824; German translation by Petz, Vienna, 1821).
