Belgium Her Kings Kingdom People Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from Belgium, Her Kings, Kingdom People During the twelve years' continuous residence in Brussels in which I have made researches and collected materials for this work it has been my good fortune to have met and discussed Belgian questions with men of every rank, of every party, and of every calling. All have spoken to me freely to all I owe gratitude. August personages, inspired with hereditary affection for England, whence Belgium's first King came, have shown me what are the feelings and aspirations of this country, which must no longer be called a little state. Archives have been opened for me, and the Ministers for Foreign and Home Affairs, of Justice, of Industry and Labour, and the Permanent under-secretaries of the various departments have shown me a courtesy so great and borne so well with my incessant demands for information, that I can find no words sufficient in which to express my thanks to them.
