Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Belgium and the Belgians The object of the present work is not that of a guide-book, but rather to convey that information respecting Belgium and its people which we look for in vain in the excellent topographical works of Baedeker, Murray, Grant Allen, Ward & Lock, Lindley, and Jean d'Ardenne. In the chapter on "The Holiday Ground of Belgium" the writer has endeavoured to describe faithfully a tour made by him in the summer of 1899 through the Liege district and the Ardennes. He does not profess to have discovered anything new or strange; but as he has carefully avoided describing any place which he has not recently visited, he believes that his narrative may possibly be of use to those who may wish to undertake a similar excursion.

Download or read book The Belgians at Home Classic Reprint written by Clive Holland and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-07 with total page 414 pages. 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Short History of Belgium The national culture Of Belgium is a synthesis, if I may so call it, where one finds the genius of two races - the Romance and the Germanic - mingled, yet modified by the imprint of the distinctively Belgian. It is in that very receptivity - the fact that it has absorbed and unified the best elements of Latin and Teutonic civilization - that the originality of the Belgian national culture resides.

Download or read book The Belgian Nation Classic Reprint written by De Vos and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-30 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Belgian Nation Dear Father De Vos: Your pamphlet "The Belgian Nation" strikes me as reflecting the life of the Belgians through the centuries and the remarkable part they had in all the great movements of the times. Why have the Belgians played such an important role in history? Why have they prospered? We find the answer in your pamphlet. The historical episodes set forth in its pages give the reader a clear conception of the Belgian nation from the times of Caesar until the present epoch. "Multum in parvo." The ingenious arrangement in episodes, chronicles and statistics offers much in a small booklet and gives enough to understand the history of the Belgians and their influence in the world. It is just what the busy Americans want as it shows in a few hours the reason why Belgium lives and is the center of attention of the world today. To my knowledge, there are in the United States very few histories of Belgium. I commend these compact pages to the numerous friends of Belgium.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Belgian Twins In this sad hour of the world's history, when so many homes have been broken up, and so many hearts burdened with heavy sorrows, it is comforting to think of the many heroic souls who, throughout the struggle, have gone about their daily tasks with unfailing courage and cheerfulness, and by so do ing have helped to carry the burdens of the world, and to sustain other hearts as heavy as their own. It is comforting, also, to know that there are many instances of happy reunions after long and unspeakable anxieties, adventures, and trials. This story of two little Belgian refugees is based upon the actual experience of two Belgian children, and the incident of the locket is quite true. The characters of the eel -woman and the mother of the Twins have also their living originals, from whose courage and devotion the author has received much inspiration.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Leopold I of Belgium, Secret Pages of European History With the aid of all this material and a study of the relevant literature I found it possible to obtain a clear idea of the personality, the life, and the work of the Belgian King, and of the problem of Belgium. How this was conceived by King Leopold-how he made it the basis of the far-reaching family policy of his House is, as recent events have shown, of the greatest importance to the peace of Europe. We have witnessed things which were foreseen and predicted by King Leopold more than three-quarters of a century ago. The Great War was only a new phase of the Belgian problem. That problem remains, and its foundations are the same. English policy in regard to Belgium, for instance, is the same as it was a century ago.

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.

Download or read book Belgium Classic Reprint written by Demetrius Charles de Kavanagh Boulger and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-08-06 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Belgium As great a change as has passed over the face of the country has modified and moulded anew the Belgian character. Prosperity, the remarkable national success, the feeling of independence have dispelled the timidity that used to colour all the views of the Belgians. Those who describe them as loth to accept responsibility and fearful of their capacity to retain what they have won are thinking of men of the last generation and not of the present day. Quiet but none the less resolute self confidence is the basis of public opinion among Walloons and Flemings alike. The qualities that enable nations to bear adversity are not always those most suited for prosperity. Self-restraint, the suppression of natural emotion when the withholding influence disappears, may easily become arro gance, and the desire to browbeat those identified with former oppression may prove irresistible. But in the case of Belgium two circumstances have counteracted this natural revulsion from one extreme to the other. There is the limitation to Belgian sovereignty in the imposition of per manent neutrality by the Treaty Powers which seemed to carry with it the assumption that Europe had recognised Belgium to a certain extent on probation. It is scarcely necessary to say that that phase of her national life passed away long ago. Belgium can more or less work out her own destiny.
