The Pageant of Netherlands History
New York: Longmans Green and Company, 1952. first edition. hardcover. 8vo 370pp. stated first edition. from front flap: "This history of the Netherlands, an engaging portrait of a highly individual people, catches the spirit of the Dutch and Belgians. Their manners and customs, their beliefs and labor, their achievements in the fields of learning, letters and the arts are conveyed in lucid, flowing narrative. The claims of rulers and systems of government influenced them less than the world position their genius gave them in trade, the crafts, diplomacy, navigation, ship building, and the allied arts that made them the carriers for all Europe."
