NOTES ON THE NETHERLANDS.

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

  MANY objects of attention are found in the environs of Amsterdam, among the villages and small towns which abound in this populous region. Excursions to the Texel by the now ship-canal; to Hoorn and to Naerden on the Zuyder Zee; and to many other points, which the various means of intercommunication render cheap and easy, will furnish the traveller with much information concerning the peculiarities of the Dutch. It is usual to make an excursion to the town of Zaandam, or Sardam, as it is often called, situated on the opposite side of the Y from Amsterdam, for the purpose of seeing the hut in which Peter the Great lived, when he worked there in 1696,as a common shipwright.
