Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Belgian Days The station-master stood on the platform, await ing the afternoon express from Paris, while a few porters in gray blouses hurried up to the scene of action, on the look-out for a job. The express thundered into the station, and stopped. The window was lowered in a first class compartment, and a lady's small, neatly gloved hand appeared over the side, making an ineffectual attempt to open the door from the outside. This manoeuvre caught the guard's eye; he sprang forward and swung the door wide Open. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Belgian Life in Town and Country When people talk of the Belgians as a modern people, with a history of only seventy-four years, they should not forget that the Flemings have scarcely changed in character, and not at all in their tongue, since the days of the Plantagenets; and that the Walloons, of Liege at least, are very much What they were in the time of the prince bishops. Under these circumstances, it would have been natural to expect that one language would have prevailed over the other, or, at least.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Belgium's Agony A Few weeks after the outbreak of war the newspapers, in an obscure paragraph, stated that German artillery had bombarded the Flemish village of Saint-Amand, near Antwerp. Nearly simultaneously, but in numerous and prominent columns, they described the wanton and ruthless destruction of the ancient university city of Louvain. Thirdly, on August 24, began the great British retreat from the line Mons-Conde, the retreat to south-westward that experts hold to rank among the finest military achievements of history. And between these three happenings there is a connecting link other than the tremendous struggle of which they form a part, a link to which subsequent events and, most of all, this little book have given a melancholy and tragic interest.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Belgians at Home There are already many volumes which cover separately and fully all these aspects of the country and its possessions. The present volume deals with Belgium and its people from the point Of view of a rambler who has at various times cycled and travelled many hundreds of miles along its high ways and by-ways, and has sought to learn something of its past history, greatness, and romance, and to see many of its greatest architectural and art treasures in most of its known, and some of its comparatively unknown, towns and villages. It is a record of things seen and impressions gained. An attempt to present within the compass of a single volume of reasonable length the Belgium of the past and of to-day, and something at least of its alluring charm, picturesqueness, and extraordinary interest for the tourist and the student, whether of history, art, or character. Every care has been taken with the spelling of proper names, and to verify dates. But it need not be pointed out to the experienced archaeologist or historian that often these are conflicting. A standard authority has been followed in each case, and the author trusts, therefore, that in this respect there will be very few errors discoverable.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Belgian People's War: A Violation of International Law In laying an English translation of the German White-Book on the franctireur war in Belgium before the public it should be pointed out - as may also be seen from the numbering of the annexes - that the English version is not a complete rendering of the German original. Of the annexes, which contain over two hundred and twenty affidavits and reports, only about one-third have been included, so as to save the reader a wearisome repetition of numerous similar incidents and to give him, with less labor to himself, an approximate idea of the kind of actions indulged in by the Belgian civilian population. The German original is open for inspection at the Imperial German Embassy and the Imperial German Consulates in this country.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Belgium Past and Present: The Cockpit of Europe This book does not pretend to being a formal history of the Flemish and Walloon provinces up to their union as an independent kingdom; nor does it deal with Belgium exclusively. Its aim is, with pen and pencil, to illustrate the stirring past of that troubled borderland on which neighbour-nations have so often fought their quarrels, till in our own day it made an arena for the main stress of the greatest war ever waged on earth. Those who have gone through that titanic struggle, or followed it with anxious eyes, may willingly find here renewed for them the old fame of names now to us become at once sadly and proudly familiar.

This book was released on 2017-10-12 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Journal of Impressions in Belgium, 1915 But when you had made fast each day with its note, your impressions were safe, far safer than if you had tried to record them in their flux as they came. How ever far behind I might be with my Journal, it was kept. It is not written up, or round and about the original notes in my day-book, it is simply written out. Each day of the seventeen had its own quality and was soaked in its own atmosphere; each had its own unique and incorruptible memory, and the slight lapse of time, so far from dulling or blurring that memory, crystal lized it and made it sharp and clean. And in writing out I have been careful never to go behind or beyond the day, never to add anything, but to leave each mo ment as it was. I have set down the day's imperfect or absurd impression, in all its imperfection or absurd ity, and the day's crude emotion in all its crudity, rather than taint its reality with the discreet reflections that came after. I make no apology for my many errors - where they were discoverable I have corrected them in a foot note; to this day I do not know how wildly wrong I may have been about kilometres and the points of the compass, and the positions of batteries and the move ments of armies; but there were other things of which I was dead sure and this record has at least the value of a human document.

Download or read book The Restoration of Belgium and Her Future Classic Reprint written by Albert Joseph Carnoy and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-05 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Restoration of Belgium and Her Future The graceful city halls, the elegant churches inherited from a past of freedom and mysticism, together with the sumptuous and sometimes not uninteresting buildings erected everywhere in the recent period of prosperity, all had contributed to crowd on a very small area much beauty and much wealth, so that an enemy seized with a blindfury could in a few days inflict the most irreparable loss on that historical ground where democracy was born in Europe. Although the armistice saved much that probably would have been doomed - it is reported that infernal machines had been placed in the basement of the celebrated Palace of Justice of Brussels - the destruction wrought by the ruthless enemy has been enormous. It has been exerted upon many things that are not visible to a superficial observer, but it has struck Belgian prosperity to its very heart by destroying completely her industries. The losses are due to a small extent only to destruction unavoidable in case of war, such as results from bombardment, fighting in villages, or the blowing up of bridges. The greatest damage has been perpetrated in defiance of international law. It comprises the willful and wanton burning of Louvain, Termonde, Dinant, and many villages, the plun dering of innumerable houses, the cutting of the forests of Flanders and Campine and many woods in the Ardennes, and the requisition of all kinds of commodities, notably the wool of the mattresses, copper in all its forms from kettles to lighting fixtures, great quantities of domestic linen, of leather, and of clothing.
