Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Netherlands I believe there is no boy, the wide world over, who has not once upon a time set out in search of a hero, and found him, too, in many an unlikely corner. And thereupon he has set him up in a niche of the temple which he keeps for the most part locked, but which at rare moments he visits, reverently and with care. I who write came one day to a little sea-swept land bound by great reaches of grass-tied dunes, and there, lingering to learn the history of the country, unawares I found my hero.

The appellations current to describe the Low Countries, or parts of them, and their inhabitants, have fallen into a chaotic Confusion which is a reflection of their chequered history, but which compels the historian to introduce some system of his own if he wants to convey clear impressions to the minds of his readers.

Download or read book Holland of the Dutch Classic Reprint written by Demetrius C. Boulger and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-09 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Holland of the Dutch In the first place, an apology is due to Nederland and the Nederlanders for using the commonly accepted but inaccurate terms Holland and Dutchmen. Much as we should like to introduce the change in English usage, the effort is too hopeless of success to be attempted here. The only defence that can be made for the name Holland as applying to the whole country instead of a province is that it distinguishes it from Belgium, which also forms part of the historic and natural Netherlands. The same consideration or difficulty has led French writers to adopt a similar usage as far as the country is concerned, but with them the description of the people as Hollandais (i.e., Hollanders) is a more faithful rendering than our term "Dutch," which is based on the radical error of treating them as Germans. A tendency to call their country Holland has recently become noticeable among the people themselves, but there is none at all to speak of their nationality otherwise than as Netherlanders. At the zenith of his power Napoleon I haughtily described Holland as the alluvion of French rivers, and probably but for the Russian adventure this description would figure in French geographical works to-day. The lower courses of the Rhine, the Meuse, and the Scheldt reach the North Sea at various points separated by no more than sixty miles from north to south, and within that range not fewer than eight main channels have forced their ways to the ocean.

This book was released on 2018-02-05 with total page 478 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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. It has been my intention to supply the missing link for the benefit of American readers. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book History of the People of the Netherlands Vol 4 Classic Reprint written by Petrus Johannes Blok and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-07 with total page 586 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the People of the Netherlands, Vol. 4 HE historian of the golden age of the Nether lands has a pleasant task to perform, because the glory of posterity has never risen higher than in this time, especially in, the second half of the century. But this task is difficult, for great is the number of the works that have appeared on this attractive epoch, and hard it is to hold fast the thread of the narrative amid the many important events occurring in every depart ment of the national life. The author hopes he has over come this difficulty without allowing too ample a space to any portion of the history of the people, so far as possible without being swayed by his personal preference for persons and systems. It would not greatly surprise him, however, if the crit ics, as has previously happened, were again to complain that in this volume also of the history of the people of the Netherlands too much place has perhaps been given to the political history of the people. That poor political history! Formerly it was everything, the everywhere recognised mistress; now it is put under a ban and thrown into an obscure corner, and unjustly. It may not be denied that the interest of the public at present is directed more to other expressions of the life of the peo ple, but this does not signify that those other expressions of old took a so much more considerable place in the popular life itself, in the daily thoughts of the nation.
