Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Dutch in the Medway Dictionary of National Biography, whose delightful quarterly volumes cost me so many good working days in the year, in so much as, being consulted, they prove so much more fascinating than any mere work of reference has a right to be. Briefly Macfarlane, the author of The Dutch in the Medway, was a wandering Scot, who, after travelling through half the countries of Europe (not in the desultory ten days out-and-home fashion of modern times, but devoting no less than eleven years to Italy and sixteen months to Turkey), settled down in London to a life of steady industry as a man of letters and a writer of history and historical fiction.

Download or read book The Dutch in the Medway written by P. G. Rogers and published by Pen & Sword Military. This book was released on 2017-02-28 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The daring raid on the Medway in June 1667, when the Dutch navigated the treacherous shoals and sandbanks of the Thames estuary and the Medway and attacked King Charles' ships laid up below Chatham, was one of the worst defeats in the Royal Navy's history and a serious blow to the English crown. Perhaps the greatest humiliation was the removal by the Dutch of the flagship Royal Charles, towed down river after the raid and taken back to Holland. To this day, her stern piece resides in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. The attack, intended to bring to an end to English procrastination at the peace negotiations in Breda, caused simmering resentment and eventually led to the Third Anglo-Dutch War. As Samuel Pepys wrote in his diary on 29 July 1667, "Thus in all things, in wisdom, courage, force, knowledge of our own streams, and success, the Dutch have the best of us, and do end the war with victory on their side." P. G. Rogers' vivid account of the raid and its significance within the Second Anglo-Dutch War between Britain and the United Provinces of the Netherlands sheds a fascinating light on the English navy of Pepys's day. Rogers' particular knowledge of the Medway and the topography of Gillingham and Chatham enable him to describe the maneuvers at a detailed level.

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.
