The Rise of the Dutch Kingdom

"The Rise of the Dutch Kingdom-A Short Account of the Early Development of the Modern Kingdom of the Netherlands" tells the story of our national usurpation by a foreign enemy during the beginning of the nineteenth century, appears at a moment when our nearest neighbours are suffering the same fate which befell us more than a hundred years ago. I dedicate my work to the five soldiers of the Belgian army who saved my life near Waerloos.
