Originally published in 1898. PREFACE: The story which is contained in the following pages is, of necessity, brief, for I cannot go beyond the limits of the series. But it need not be given in great detail. It is possible by a short narrative to recount the principle facts in the greatest and most important of all European wars, that in which the seven provinces of Holland secured their independence against the monarch who was supposed to possess the mightiest powers of the age.

We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
