Holland by Thomas Colley Grattan
The Netherlands form a kingdom of moderate extent, situated on the borders of the ocean, opposite to the southeast coast of England, and stretching from the frontiers of Prance to those of Hanover. The country is principally composed of low and humid grounds, presenting a vast plain, irrigated by the waters from all those neighboring states which are traversed by the Rhine, the Meuse, and the Scheldt. This plain, gradually rising toward its eastern and southern extremities, blends on the one hand with Prussia, and on the other with France. Having, therefore, no natural or strongly marked limits on those sides, the extent of the kingdom could only be determined by convention; and it must be at all times subject to the arbitrary and varying influence of European policy. Its greatest length, from north to south, is about two hundred and twenty English miles; and its breadth, from east to west, is nearly one hundred and forty.Thomas Grattan's short fiction has appeared in a variety of magazines, including One Story, Slice, and The Colorado Review, has been nominated for a Pushcart Prize, and was included in Best American Short Stories as a notable story. His debut novel is The Recent East. He has a Masters in Fiction Writing from Brooklyn College and has spent more than a decade teaching middle school English. He currently resides in New York City.
