These selected paragraphs distill the contents and give you a quick look inside The Spell of Flanders An Outline of the History, Legends and Art of Belgium's Famous Northern Provinces: Look inside the book: While we were inspecting the choir and the ambulatory, which contains several paintings and carvings of no little interest, the Professor discovered that the hours had been slipping by faster than we had imagined and as there were several relics of the earliest period of the city's history that we wished to visit on our first day we decided to betake ourselves to the Grande Place and postpone our visit to the far-famed treasury of the cathedral to another day. ...From Robert Campin, who settled at Tournai about 1406 and died in 1444, to Louis Gallait, whose three great masterpieces were painted between 1840 and 1850, and to Stallaert and Hennebicq, who laid aside their brushes in the first decade of the present century, there extends a period of five hundred years during which the noble art of painting has been practised and taught at Tournai by men of commanding genius-a record in the history of art that no town in the world of similar size has ever equalled.

Excerpt from The Spell of Flanders: An Outline of the History, Legends and Art of Belgium's Famous Northern Provinces, Being the Story of a Twentieth Century Pilgrimage in a Sixteenth Century Land Just Before the Outbreak of the Great War Lord Beaconsfield once said: "Flanders lias been trodden by the feet and watered by the blood of countless generations of British soldiers." This famous passage - which has received a new confirmation to-day - is typical of many references among English writers and statesmen to Flanders as a general term covering all of what is now known as Belgium. Among the citizens of that brave little Kingdom, however, and among most Continental writers, Flanders is recognised as being the name of only the northern part of Belgium. Small as that country is, it has for centuries been bi-lingual, the northern portion speaking Flemish, the southern French; and for centuries the history of the Flemish provinces was as distinct from that of the Walloon province to the southward as the early history of California or Texas was from that of New England.
