Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Heiress of Bruges, Vol. 1 of 4: A Tale of the Year Sixteen Hundred There is scarcely any where a town that presents so many points of quiet beauty as Bruges. Its aspect is soothing rather than striking. The memory of old times seems to rest upon the place, undisturbed by innovation or caprice. Recollections of splendour and refinement are unmixed with associations of feudal harshness; while fancy conjures up and embodies the spirit of chivalry in the garb of pure romance.
