About This Book

The author presents a descriptive and analytical tour of Belgium's principal cities, combining architectural and artistic sightseeing with political and economic commentary. He reviews royal and municipal buildings, legislative chambers, religious monuments and notable works by old masters, alongside vivid impressions of urban life and festivals. Interwoven are accounts of recent political upheaval and its effects on property, fortifications, and trade, including river navigation and port development. Chapters examine manufactories, export industries, and the challenges facing textiles and transit commerce, supplemented by an index of local trades and technical observations on roads, arsenals, and public institutions.
