Excerpt from The Fascination of Holland: Written and Photographed
I wish to acknowledge my indebtedness to the following books: "The Rise of the Dutch Republic," by Motley; "Holland and its People," by Edmondo de Amicis, translated by Caroline Tilton; "The Scottish Staple in the Netherlands," by M. P. Rooseboom; and "William the Silent, Prince of Orange," by Ruth Putnam, from the last of which I have, with the kind permission of Messrs. G. P. Putnam's Sons, quoted "The Beggars' Echo."
With great pleasure I also take this opportunity of thanking His Honour Judge Loth for his many kind acts in Holland, and for reading through the proofs of this little book.
