About this book

The Relics of General Chassé is subtitled A Tale of Antwerp. The text says Belgium is now one of the European kingdoms, living by its own laws, but was once a part of Holland and obtained its own independence by a revolution. The text says the most important military step was the siege of Antwerp, defended on the part of the Dutch by General Chassé, with the utmost gallantry, but nevertheless ineffectually.

The Rev. Augustus Horne was called by all, and called himself, a happy man; at twenty-four he had been a deacon, at twenty-seven a priest, at thirty a rector, and at thirty-five a prebendary. Mr. Horne is described as a well-made man with small hands and feet, whose stature was about six feet two. The mutton cutlets and fried potatoes at the Golden Fleece at Antwerp are remarkably good, and the claret also was of the best.
