Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Little Journey to Belgium and Denmark, for Home and School, Intermediate, and Upper Grades Our journey this month will be to the "land of the wooden shoe," the very tiniest country of all Europe. Looking on our map we find it wedged in between France, Germany, and Holland, but with its northern and northwestern coasts washed by the waters of the North Sea. Its greatest breadth east and west is one hundred and sixty miles. Its greatest length is one hundred and fifteen miles. But though it has an area of only 11,323 square miles, it has a population of nearly seven millions, which makes it the most densely populated country of Europe. In some parts of the country the people are like bees in a swarm. One wonders how they all get a living. The houses are scattered so thickly over the country, and the towns are so close together, that it seems like one city with numberless suburbs. The lowlands of Belgium strongly resemble Holland, Here we have beautiful green fields and gardens separated by canals and ditches. Huge windmills, gaily painted, are as active in draining, pumping, grinding, sawing and pounding as though working for Holland. Besides agricultural pursuits, many of the people are largely engaged in making the earth yield up her store of coal and iron, for Belgium has a mining region that covers an area of 476 square miles.
