"Belgium, Vol. 2 (of 2)" by Sir James Emerson Tennent is a historical account written in the early 19th century. This volume delves into the intricate landscapes, politics, and culture of Belgium during a period marked by revolutionary fervor and national identity formation. Tennent examines the architectural and artistic heritage of cities like Brussels and Antwerp, reflecting on both their grandeur and the tumultuous political backdrop of the time. The opening of the work introduces readers to significant sites in Brussels, such as the royal palaces and the Belgian parliament. Tennent vividly describes the opulence of the Palace of the Prince of Orange, now a symbol of the political upheaval of the revolution, as well as the simple yet functional Palais de la Nation, where the Belgian Assembly convenes. He narrates unique historical anecdotes, particularly highlighting the chaotic events surrounding the revolution of 1830, including a dramatic English experience at the Hôtel de Bellevue during siege warfare. Overall, this beginning sets up a detailed exploration of Belgium's heritage intertwined with its evolving identity, laying a foundation for discussing the nation's political struggles, artistic achievements, and economic conditions.
