Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Revue Historique, Vol. 115: Trente-Neuvi'me Ann'e; Janvier-Avril, 1914
Chteau fort et ville sont les deux assises fondamentales de la nation flamande. L'un assure la s'curit', l'ordre politique et l'autorit' du prince, l'autre procure le bien-'tre et l'aisance, qui, de proche en proche, se r'pand sur la campagne et qui donne la population urbaine et rurale la conscience de sa force. C'est plus qu'un mariage de raison qui unit le chteau, la cit' et la plaine, c'est un syncr'tisme de la nature.
