Even peace did not bring back the old days of order and meticulous progress in nearly all directions. The revolution, which began with slogans of liberty and prosperity, ended with the liberty to destroy and to kill foreigners of all races. Our Indonesian friend continues with these simple words: Out of this ferment emerged the tragedy and problems of the Indonesian State and its peoples after their libera tion. Indonesia, one of the richest countries of the world and a nation with every possibility for advancement, be came, as it were, swamped in a morass.

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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Young People's History of Holland Holland had a great part in the making of the civilization of Europe. By a very un usual training amid the elements of nature, the Dutch were educated to take a noble part in bringing about the modern world Of ideas and forces. To win first their own land from the waters, to make it habitable, and then to gain the dominion Of the seas, were notable triumphs of mind over matter. To lead in intellectual liberty and freedom in religion, in the enlargement Of the bounds of human knowledge, and in the union and reconcilia tion Of the Orient and the Occident, were surely great things to be done by a country so small in area and a people so few in num bers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Rise of the Dutch Republic: A History To the Dutch Republic, even more than to Florence at an earlier day, is the world indebted for practical instruction in that great science of political equilibrium which must always become more and more im portant as the various states of the civilised world are pressed more closely together, and as the struggle for preeminence becomes morefeverish. Courage and skill in political and military combinations enabled William the Silent to overcome the most powerful and uh scrupulous monarch of his age. The same hereditary audacity and fertility of genius placed the destiny of Europe in the hands of William's great-grandson, and enabled him to mould into an impregnable barrier the various elements of opposition to the overshadowing monarchy of Louis XIV. As the schemes of the Inquisition and the unparalleled tyranny of Philip, in one century, led to the establishment of the Re public of the United Provinces, so, in the next, the revocation of the Nantes Edict and the invasion of Holland were avenged by the elevation of the Dutch stadholder upon the throne of the stipendiary Stuarts.

Download or read book History of Holland (Classic Reprint) written by George Edmundson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-15 with total page 492 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Holland The series is intended for the use of all persons anxious to understand the nature of existing political conditions. The roots of the present lie deep in the past and the real significance of contemporary events cannot be grasped unless the historical causes which have led to them are known. The plan adopted makes it possible to treat the history of the last four centuries in considerable detail, and to embody the most important results of modern research. It is hoped therefore that the series will be useful not only to beginners but to students who have already acquired some general knowledge of European History. For those who wish to carry their studies further, the bibliography appended to each volume will act as a guide to original sources of information and works of a more special character.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Dutch in America The following pages were presented to the Court of Appeals in the State of New York as an argument in an elevated railroad case then pending, in which the fundamental question involved was whether the Dutch Roman law prevailed in Manhattan Island before 1664, under which law the railroad claimed that the State absolutely owned the streets and that adjacent owners had no rights or easements therein. This question depended upon the determination of the historical question who, under the law of nations, discovered and settled New York.

Book Synopsis Poor Relations by : Maarten Maartens

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Poor Relations: Stories of Dutch Peasant Life The whole hamlet effervesced with delicious perturbation. Every one was telling every one else that Jan Hunkum lay murdered in his bed. The Hemel is one of the dirtiest spots in a country where no spot is very dirty. The appearance of the place is against it: some few dozen disorderly hovels lie pitched across a field, their builders having allowed them to fall as they chose. Some, abusing this permission, lurch heavily, looking as if, like many of the people inside them, they had frequently taken a drop too much. Others bend backwards, propped up with the pride that cometh before a fall, and the general crookedness, and the old age that accentuates it, give the tumble-down dwellings a disreputable leer such as many of the indwellers have developed for themselves. Our conceptions of heaven - which is "De Hemel" - must inevitably remain inadequate at the best: perhaps the angels up yonder, in cloudland, cannot properly distinguish the gulf which, in our appreciation, sinks a pool of poverty and wickedness like this little Dutch hamlet beneath a favoured nook of our deteriorated Paradise such as, say, Monte Carlo.
