In the 9th century the country formed part of the Empire of Charlemagne. By the treaty of Verdun the western provinces, Flanders and Artois, became part of France, while the eastern, including Brabant, fell to the share of Germany. The Flemings , who constitute about five- eighths of the population, are a somewhat phlegmatic race of Teutonic origin ; they are pre eminently successful in agriculture and those pursuits in which energetic action is less requisite than patient perseverance , and their language is of the Teutonic stock, being closely akin to the Dutch.
Antwerp and other seaports, however, also possess a thriving commercial and seafaring Flemish population. A third element is the French Political refugees and obnoxious journalists frequently transfer the sphere of their labours from Paris to Brussels, while a considerable proportion of the Belgian population in the principal towns affect French manners and customs, are frequently educated in France, and are often entirely ignorant of the Flemish language.
A valuable and interesting work, to which reference is frequently made in the Handbook, is the ' Descriptio totius Belgii by the learned Florentine Guicciardini d. In summa, tantum alteri et natura et moribus, totaque adeo vitae ra tione ab alteris differunt, quantum Galli discrepant a Germanis'. It was preceded by Belgien Baedeker, THE chief objects of the Handbook for Belgium and Holland are to supply the traveller with a few remarks on the progress of civilisation and art in these interesting coun tries ; to render him as far as possible independent of the em barrassing and expensive services of commissionnaires, guides, and other members of the same fraternity ; to place him in a position to employ his time , his money , and his energy to the best advantage ; and thus to enable him to derive the greatest possible amount of pleasure and in struction from his tour.
The Handbook has been compiled almost entirely from the Editor's personal observation , and he has used every en deavour to furnish information acceptable to travellers of every class. The present edition , which corresponds to the 19th German edition and the 14th French, has been care fully revised and remodelled from the most recent time tables, catalogues, government statistics, and other sources. The Editor has also frequently availed himself of the valuable information kindly afforded by travellers, which he grate fully acknowledges.
The introductory article on art has been contributed by Professor Anton Springer of Leipsic, and has been adapted for the use of English travellers with the kind assistance of Mr. Crowe, author of ' The Early Flemish Painters'. Other valuable remarks on many of the principal works of art mentioned in the Handbook are also from Professor Springer's pen. The MAPS and PLANS, on which the utmost care has been bestowed , will prove of material service to the tra veller when threading his way through the intricacies of the curious medieval cities of Belgium , or when entangled in the network of railways, rivers, and canals with which the Netherlands are overspread.
