PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY OF THE NETHERLANDS. ltitrolitcivry chapter of the new work now passing through of the Publication Oommittee entitled: 1 The Beggars of Holland and the Grandees of Rev. John IV. Mears, D: JD. The work wilr^ oear about October Ist, will comprise 470 be fully illustrated. v TUE NETHERLANDS, It was observed by the ancient geographer, Strabo, that the fragmentary parts of conti nents, especially contiguous islands, are the most richly endowed portions of the globe. And it is true that regions of country some what isolated from others, limited in extent, shut in by waters, mountains or deserts, have exercised the widest influence ; upon the affairs of the world, have ’made the greatest advances in civilization and have played the greatest part in history. God seems to have set them apart as training places of their inhabitants for special ends, which would have been lost if they had been thrown open to the prevailing influences of the world, or to those great tides of com merce, migration, or conquest, which have swept over the wider-regions of the world’s surface. Such an isolated region, pre-eminently, was Palestine, whoseinhabitants were chosen to preserve aril- corhmunicate the true re ligion to the world. Such regions, too, were Greece, Italy and Scotland; such were Old England and New England; such were [Switzerland and Holland; Holland or Hollowlands, called also the Netherlands or Lower Lands, may well be reckoned among the fragmentary parts of the continent of Europe. Whether the sea or the la.ndjiebould prevail within its limits has been a ,matter of fierce contention be tween two elements for centuries. The perpetual struggle of the inhabitants to beat back the encroachments of the sea itemed and prepared them to resist the en croachments of tyganpy. Jt was JJod’s„d.is -cipßpri tq fit thepifor one pfthe'most mo mentous vStrnggles in history. T-he last great inroad of the waters upon their coasts found therii fairly engaged in the great ef fort which resulted in the expulsion of the 'Spanish invfa'dSr and., an”deliverance from : itbe ydko of the Ihqiilsiti&n. Certain it is, those par.ta,qf exposed to inundation made the most persevering re- sistance to tyranny and to popery. It was only when the wave of Spanish oppression rolled outward to the sea-wall, and when the dike-builders turned against it the waves of the ocean, which they had learned to con trol, that the proud armies of Alva suc cumbed Among the half-submerged islands of Zealand the first firm ground for liberty was won. The whole territory formerly called Hol land, or the Netherlands, or the Low Coun tries, now divided into the two kingdoms of Holland and Belgium, is almost one contin uous, rich, level meadow, deeply indented by the sea, and the coast line broken up into numberless i-lands. The Rhine, the Meuse and the Scheldt roll their sluggish currents and stretch their many arms through every part of the territory, water ing it and making it accessible in every quarter these riv.ers.Ja,.-their courses, and to restrain, the ocean in its bed, all Holland has hqeri s fenced around with great fortifications, called dikes, compared with-'wbieh our. levees. along the banks of the Mississippi are dinqinutive af fairs. They are .often as high as> forty feet above the level of low tide, ■ seventy feet wide at the 1 base,- and sufficiently broad at the top to be used as carriage roads. They are built of heavy timbers, like our wharves, filled in with‘s i tdheB, f 6r6aghfc from Norway, for there are none in Holland—arid strength- ened with piles, and frequently eovercd.with turf and soil and planted with willows. They are under th,e regularly-employed engineers, arid materials are,always on hand, I for immediate. use if needed I’or repairs. During the stormy season watchmen pace the dikes by day and night, prepared to give the alarm ait the first sign *of weakness in any part of the greht sea-wall, so that the people, fair and near, may hasten to close ! up the breach with whatever materials they can lay their hands upon. It is estimated that the defences of this little country against the sea cost $1,500, 000, than half the amouht of our great national debt. Thus the land is protected; and although parts of it are below the level of the sea, it is,the,‘home of the most crowded .population in the civilized world. At the beginning of the great struggle-.with.Bhilip, it was reported.- to- contaiu three and fifty cities and sixty-three hundred large towns, besides hamlets, castles and farm houses. But these undaunted Hollanders were by no means satisfied with merely keeping the sea within its boundary; they launched their fleets upon its waves and 'plied l .their com merce, with the remotest parts of’the earth. The carrying trade of the world was in their hands. Antwerp, in its wide mercantile re lations and its commercial prosperity, be came the successor of Tyre and Venice, and the precursor of Loudon, Liverpool and New York. Still another .service did the Hollanders exact from the waters, which seemed almost to envy and to rage against their security. They led them like tamed animals, through j countless canals, quietly and peacefully,over *EVSry part of vhoU lo i ol Luiiiiiury_| in sumo of the towns they almost took the place of streets. Harlem, the NorthernjVAaipe, was divided into thirty islands, united "by one hundred handsome cut-stone bridges. Ninety lakes in the interior have been drained and turned into admirable pasture-land. Among these was Harlem L&ke, once a body of wa ter fourteen miles long, ten miles wide and thirteen feet deep, .connecting the cities of Harlem, Leyden and Amsterdam, that lay around its borders. In the thirteen years from 1889 to 1852, the bed of this lake was . pumped dry, and furnished more than forty- , one thousand acres of good land, now waving , with the fruits of industry and the means of sustenance for man and beast. At the time of which wo are writing, Holland, or the Netherlands, was divided into seventeen provinces, each one on an average being about the sizcof Rhode Is land, and the whole covering an area of over twenty-fivo thousand square miles, making *»• state rather larger than South Carolina, and somewhat resembling it in the network of islands along the shore. The southern part Ofth%* «mntry Btretches further inland " than the northed, and has comparatively little sea coast; won*. a [| the' northern provinces are reached by bay«_ ail d inlets, or are perpetually beaten- by the waves of the North Sea. Thus we haveXrroningen, in the .extreme .north by the North Sea; and on the east by Lake DOllart and the broad river Eras —a- stream destined to witness one of the sad dest defeats of the patriot army. Around the Zuyder-Zee,. the great, inland water formed by a terrible incursion of the sea in the thirteenth century,lay clustered nearly all the states which declared for William in the wonderful spring-time of 1572; Fries land and Overyssel to the east; Gelderland, the country of Zutphen, to the south-east; and Utrecht, where the union of the Seven Provinces was 'formed under William in 1579, to the south; while North _Holland, pointing boldly to the north with its taper ing fl ger, having a width of from ten to forty miles between'the Zuyder-Zee on the east and the ocean on the west, is little more than a shoal in the sea, which would be covered at high-tide but for thev:massive dikes which girdle it around on every side. But upon this reclaimed shoal stand the fa mous and populous cities of Amsterdam and Harlem, and Alkmaer and Eukhuysen, and its population numbers more than five hun dred to the square miie—more than twice as dense as that of Massachusetts. Directly south is South Holland, formerly united with the upper province, and, like that, nearly surrounded with water, traversed by rivers and canajs, and protected from sub mersion by the ever present dikes. Here are the renowned cities of Leyden, Dort, and Rotterdam, an.d a population cf; B W bfin dred to the square mile. Here, on the very edge of the sea, is the little town of Brill, the capture of which from the Spaniards by the water-beggars of Holland, in 1572, was the first successful blow struck for the libera- tion of the country. Further south, and stretching out westward, is the archipelago , of Zealand —or Sealand, as we might well ‘ term it —made up almost entirely of the large islands of Walcheren, South Beveland, Schowen, and many other smaller ones, and penetrated everywhere with broad inlets of the sea; just the country to encourage the growth of a hardy people, who would be at home equally on sea and land, and to form the material of a great and powerful navy. Here, too, the dikes are all important. To ' keep up two of these structures, on the single island of Walcheren, costs sixty thou sand dollars a year. These comprise the seven northern pro vinces, which, after a war of seventy years, were recognized as independent of the Spanish yoke, and took their place as a Pro testant nation, under thename'of the United Provinces of the Netherlands. • The ten provinces of the south, in which r the first movements of the Reformation appeared, j and which fora time shared in the struggles ; and successes of their neighbors, were finally j separated from them and remained under j the Spanish yoke. J Immediately to the south-west of Zealand,; but with a far simpler and more clearly marked line of coast, lies Flanders, the only one of these provinces reached By the sea. Flanders, Hainault, Namur and Luxemburg form the south-western border of the coun try, and touch upon the northern boundary • ofJFrance. Itwas into these provinces that ! the doctrines of John Calvin were easily and early Brought by-Huguenot preachers, and great were the hopes cherished, up to ■ the time of the massacre of St. Bartholomew, of material aid from the Huguenot captains, which!, alas! never came. Valenciennes, which now belongs to France, was at this time iueluded with the Dutch province of Hainault, and bore a brave part, and suf- j fered a fearful punishmentfrom the Spaniards ; in the very opening of the war. j Between this southern tier of states and i the northern provinces, was Limburg, with j the city of Maestrieht on . the Meuse, near i the place made famous by the Prince of, Orange crossing its. deep waters, with his ; whole army, without boat or bridge. In this ! interior part, towards the west, was the < province of Antwerp, with the great com-; mercial metropolis of the same name. There | was finally Brabant, with its capital city, i Brussels, the seat of government during the > time of Charles and Philip, and now the.- capital city of Belgiu.m.. .Here was witnessed j the strange scene of the. abdication of the 1 mighty Emperor Charles,who j “Cast crowns for rosaries away— j An empire for a cell.” | Here Alva dwelt and held his dreadful Blood Council. Here Bgmont and Horn were exe cuted. Upon its walls hung the terrible placards of Charles against heresy. Here, too, was first heard that strange cry, so full of meaning for long years afterwards to friend and foe —“ Long Hoe the Here was the term first applied -by th-c friends of Spain, in contempt, to the eon iederaie nobles, wlnrmade-it the watchword and rallying cry of the defenders of their country. It waS from bold, brave men, who got their name of Beggars in Brussels, that the first successful blow came for the de liverance of their country from the grasp of the proud Grandees op Spain. LITERARY ITEMS. Mr. James Hu pton, of ihv Spectator, the prob able author of “ Ecue Homo,” has translated and will publish the second series of Louis Blanc’s excellent “Letters on. England.” Mr. Thos. Hood is about to publish a novel entitled the “G-olden Heart.” The five hundred and eighty - seventh edition of Hamilton’s “ Instructions for the Piano Forte ” is announced. He. Joseph Lilly, dealer in old books, an nounces an edition of the famous collection of old black-letter ballads of the time of Elizabeth, for merly belonging to the late George Daniel, the antiquary, the sale of whose library, a few years since, produced the astonishing sum of seven .hundred and fifty pounds. There are seventy nine of these ballads, all of the highest interest and curiosity, and the collection, which is nowin the possession of Mr. Frederick Huth, of Lon don. is supposed to be unique. Magazine Success. Apropos of the perennial crop of new English magazines: The Bookseller “ A magazine that sells to the extent of ten, fifteen, or twenty thousand, may be o. jy-eat literary success, and yet entail ruin upon Its publisher. A sale of 20,000 may be a positive loss; Tj'ut-if. the sale should reach 40,000 or more, there will ha a very handsome profit. Tinsley’s Mogazinej at one shilling, may be a splendid success —both "in a com meToiatuud in a literary sense; but the Broadway, with pre cisely .the same circulation, Amy be a positive loss —-yet at the same time a literary success; both magazines bid high,, both have a capital &rray of names as contributors; and if a public cache found, both may be successful.”.
