Excerpt from Bruges a Record and an Impression
Within the space allowed, more than a sketch of so profound a subject is not possible. To me Bruges is a personality, and my endeavour has been to outline her history and to indicate her main characteristics. If this book should give pleasure to the reader or be the means of showing Bruges to some who have not yet seen that fair city, it will have attained its object.
