Excerpt from The Beggars of Holland and the Grandees of Spain: A History of the Reformation in the Netherlands, From 1200 to 1578 It was observed by the ancient geographer Strabo that the fragmentary parts of continents, especially contiguous islands, are the most richly endowed portions of the globe. And it is true that regions of country somewhat isolated from others, limited in extent, shut in by waters, mountains or deserts, have exercised the widest influence upon the affairs of the world, have made the greatest advances in civilization and have played the greatest part in history.
