Excerpt from A Motor Book for Everybody
A knowledge Of history, Often the leading incentive to sightseeing, may be granted the reader in respect to England or France, but cannot be positively assumed as regards Holland or Germany. This is the more surprising in that the Saxons who strove SO bravely to maintain their white-horse banner against Charle magne, and upheld, at fearful cost, the tenets Of Mar tin Luther, were Of the same family as those who helped Alfred the Great to his victory of White Horse Hill and wrought the downfall Of the Stuarts. The introduction Of some salient historical events is, there fore, unavoidable in both Holland and Germany. Sincerely appreciating the dryness Of history for many readers, the author has mentioned, casually, such nov els as helped him to an easy and interested understand ing Of the subject. He has also incorporated many of those charming legends which lend a special interest to places visited.
