Description:Excerpt from The Industrial History of Free Nations, Considered in Relation to Their Domestic Institutions and External Policy, Vol. 2 of 2Freo, -but what beside? If analytical con-mm jecture may be relied on, the entire region that in after-times was destined to become the term firmw aims of arts and industry, was then but one vast half submerged and sterile swamp. The Romans had seen the inhabitants use clods of dried clay for fuel; at the present day the piles of Amsterdam rest on peat; and the evidences of its once universal prevalence, as well as the causes of its formation at the diffusive exits of the Mass and Rhine, are sufficiently obvious. Niebuhr characteristically notes, when trying to peer through the mist of Frisian antiquities, that in the ancient dialect there is no word signifying marsh or bog, as if, no other kind of soil being known, there was no need of any such distinctive term. Some tracts - those, in all probability, which the ocean most frequently over ﬂowed - were called brackish or salt; others, more inland, were denominated fresh lands; but all were alike marsh, so there had been no meaning in the phrase that is elsewhere used as an explaiive.'About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
