"To-day, as the stranger wanders along the wide and shady
canals, passes the students' club, looks in at any one of the

is commercial, Haarlem artistic, Leyden refined, cultured, literary." p. 191"Holland and Delft" by Richard Lovett in Holland as seen and described by famous writers (1906) Edited by Esther Singleton
