Our Heritage. Volume 23 (1980), The Belgian uprising by dr. Hans van der Hoeven The writer regretted that by 1830 the Germanic dike had been broken. This paper was published by the 'De Veldbloem' Association, which formed a clear core of regrets with regard to the United Kingdom. Belgium now had a king who didn't even speak Dutch; no wonder De Laveleye was quoted with particular approval in his statement. 1830-1880. A Handful of Truths (Brussels, 1880), pp. 19-20.
