The Origin of the Dutch: With a Sketch of Their Language and Literature, and Short Examples, Tracing the Progress of the Language (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Origin of the Dutch: With a Sketch of Their Language and Literature, and Short Examples, Tracing the Progress of the Language

Should any one, unacquainted with Holland, imagine that there is rather too high a strain of eulogy pervading this Sketch, let him remember that the author writes from personal knowledge and experience, under the influence of that grateful feeling which must ever be excited by a long and liberal enjoyment of every literary facility and friendly assistance that could be afforded by a people, whose intellectual vigour, Christian benevolence, and moral worth, can only be duly appreciated by a residence among them.
