Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of Bruges Few great mediaeval towns possess so many memorials of the past, alike in masonry and on parchment, as does 'the ancient town of Bruges.' They have been indited by the patience of the scribe in breviary and in charter-roll; they have been perpetuated by the art of the painter, in gold and glowing tones, in portrait and in altar-piece; they have been graven with an iron pen in wood and metal and stone they have been handed down by word of mouth through countless generations.
