Preface

It would be useless to pretend that this book is authoritatively informing. It is a series of personal impressions of the Dutch country and the Dutch people, gathered during three visits, together with an accretion of matter, more or less pertinent, drawn from many sources, old and new, to which I hope I have given unity. For trustworthy information upon the more serious side of Dutch life and character I would recommend Mr. Meldrum's _Holland and the Hollanders_. My thanks are due to my friends, Mr. and Mrs. Emil Lueden, for saving me from many errors by reading this work in MS.
