Project Gutenberg 2005-09-01 Public domain in the USA. 426 Hough, P. M. Dutch Life in Town and Country Produced by Distributed Proofreaders "Dutch Life in Town and Country" by P. M. Hough is an observational account that likely reflects the social and cultural landscape of the Netherlands, written during the late 19th century. This work delves into various aspects of Dutch life, including national characteristics, societal classes, and the unique customs and practices of both urban and rural communities. The opening portion sets the stage for an exploration of Dutch life by emphasizing the meticulous nature of the Dutch people and their environment. Hough notes the compactness of Dutch cities, the provincial variations across the regions, and the historical depth that informs contemporary sentiments. He describes the average Dutchman as someone who embodies a blend of phlegmatic character and a deep sense of patriotism rooted in the struggles of their past. This reflective analysis serves as an entrance into understanding the rich tapestry of life in both towns and countryside, focusing on how the past informs present identities, societal roles, and national characteristics.
