Download or read book History of Holland Classic Reprint written by George Edmundson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-15 with total page 492 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Holland The series is intended for the use of all persons anxious to understand the nature of existing political conditions. The roots of the present lie deep in the past and the real significance of contemporary events cannot be grasped unless the historical causes which have led to them are known. The plan adopted makes it possible to treat the history of the last four centuries in considerable detail, and to embody the most important results of modern research. It is hoped therefore that the series will be useful not only to beginners but to students who have already acquired some general knowledge of European History. For those who wish to carry their studies further, the bibliography appended to each volume will act as a guide to original sources of information and works of a more special character.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Young People's History of Holland Holland had a great part in the making of the civilization of Europe. By a very unusual training amid the elements of nature, the Dutch were educated to take a noble part in bringing about the modern world of ideas and forces. To win first their own land from the waters, to make it habitable, and then to gain the dominion of the seas, were notable triumphs of mind over matter. To lead in intellectual liberty and freedom in religion, in the enlargement of the bounds of human knowledge, and in the union and reconciliation of the Orient and the Occident, were surely great things to be done by a country so small in area and a people so few in numbers. In this outline of Dutch history for young people, I have laid emphasis upon things visible and tangible and upon persons and events rather than upon theories and tendencies.

Download or read book Holland Classic Reprint written by Nico Jungman and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-06 with total page 512 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Holland Zeeland and North Holland are the two most con servative provinces of the Netherlands. They retain the old customs and costumes for which Holland is celebrated. Their inhabitants do not seem to be bitten by the crave for modernity which, unfortunately for lovers of the picturesque, is rapidly changing the face of the country in other parts. It is probable either that in two or three decades the charming and varied national costumes will have disappeared over Holland generally, or that these treasures will be carefully stored away in a press as old as their fashion, only to be brought forth on momentous or festive occasions. The geographical character of Zeeland is in itself unique. The slices of land constituting the province have been reclaimed fi'om the North Sea, and are only kept above water by vigilant industry.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Fall of the Dutch Republic As to most students, their stream of knowledge about Dutch history starts fresh and bright among the heroic deeds of the sixteenth century, follows a less impetuous course during the seventeenth, and runs itself to death among the dry sands of the eighteenth. They are aware of the undeniable fact that at the present moment there exists a Kingdom of the Netherlands. But what lies between the days of William III (of Macaulay fame) and the foundation of the modern kingdom, is a subject of quite as much speculation as the mediaeval history of Greece or China.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Landscape Painting and Modern Dutch Artists The same scene might be painted by Ruys dael and Hobbema, by Constable and Turner, by Daubigny and Rousseau, and each pic ture would take on the spirit of the individual artist, and give the observer very different ideas of identical views. For if it is not the actual scene before him that is painted, but his idea of it, it is evident that the personality of the artist counts for a very great deal in pictures; and so it is the subjective view of art that is the all-important one.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Rise of the Dutch Kingdom: 1795 1813; A Short Account of the Early Development of the Modern Kingdom of the Netherlands His foreword is an afterthought. It was written when the first proofs of the book had gone back to the printer. And this is how it took its origin: A few days ago I received a copy of a Dutch historical magazine containing a violent attack upon one of my former books. The reviewer, who evidently neither had taken the time to read my book nor had taken the trouble to understand what I was trying to say, accused me among other things of a haughty contempt for my forefathers during their time of decline. Haughty con tempt, indeed! Nay, Brother of the Acrid Pen, was it not the truth which hurt thee so unexpectedly rather than my scornful irony?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Journey Through Old Holland Sat reading for A long time IN old PA pers, books and ships' logs. A friend of mine had dropped in, and we had fallen into a discussion over a certain Dutchman, named Ian Maertensz., mentioned as one of the first inhabitants of the small settlement of New Amsterdam the little colony well known in the xviith century as the alternating and contested possession of two sea-faring nations, and in our time better known as the small beginning from which the large and remarkable metropolis of New - York has grown - whether this Dutchman could have re turned to the land of his forefathers, or whether he had possibly ended his days roaming the seas as merchant and skipper. IX}, For the chronicles state with' certainty the following facts When the English for the first time laid hands on the settlement, Ian Maertensz. At once abandoned both an assured living as well as those possessions he had won by dogged labour, and took ship, preferring a difficult existence in freedom to a peaceful one under foreign rulers. In his youth he had thought that his fortune'was to be found on or across the Sea. The endless rolling sea, where white sails rode in the distance, where mysterious voices spoke and laughed aloud in the wave romping of the thudding, splashing breakers on the Dutch coast the sea had aroused in him the desire to seek adventure across that wonderful waste. Nothing new, indeed, in his countrymen. Had not they always been the sons of the deep? Says not One of the songs of the Beggars of the Sea, the lays of those poor expelled men who valiantly fought for the freedom of our soil: Through the wild waves they went, Like lions through the wood. El}, Has not Holland seen its glory dawn on the seas? Has not the sea brought Holland whatever treasures were discovered and carried home from distant climes, in small ships, amid constant dangers? Have not her sons more than those of any other land understood the sea, and how to find tracks on its great spaces, and how from wood and sail-cloth, with ingenuity and stubborn endeavour, to build up the beautiful works of art which their small Ships were, with their high stems and graceful rigging and sails? Were they not, from their youth, cradled in the lap of the waves, as our great xviith century poet, vondel, once sang? No wonder then that Ian Maertensz. Could not resist the call of the sea. A daring seaman the old chronicles called him. B}, Twilight had for an hour been shrouding all visible outlines in my room in grey shadow, when my friend left v iaiqyy n; 0 T if P f.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Dutch Life in Town and Country There is in human affairs a reason for everything we see, although not always reason in everything. It is the part of the historian to seek in the archives of a nation the reasons for the facts of common experience and observation; it is the part of the philosopher to moralise upon antecedent causes and present results. Neither of these positions is taken up by the author of this little book. He merely, as a rule, gives the picture of Dutch life now to be seen in the Netherlands, and in all things tries to be scrupulously fair to a people renowned for their kindness and courtesy to the stranger in their midst.
