Haarlem
,
whither
,
three
days
ago
,
we
conducted
our
gentle
reader
,
and
whither
we
request
him
to
follow
us
once
more
in
the
footsteps
of
the
prisoner
,
is
a
pleasant
city
,
which
justly
prides
itself
on
being
one
of
the
most
shady
in
all
the
Netherlands
.
While
other
towns
boast
of
the
magnificence
of
their
arsenals
and
dock-yards
,
and
the
splendour
of
their
shops
and
markets
,
Haarlem
's
claims
to
fame
rest
upon
her
superiority
to
all
other
provincial
cities
in
the
number
and
beauty
of
her
spreading
elms
,
graceful
poplars
,
and
,
more
than
all
,
upon
her
pleasant
walks
,
shaded
by
the
lovely
arches
of
magnificent
oaks
,
lindens
,
and
chestnuts
.
Haarlem
,
--
just
as
her
neighbour
,
Leyden
,
became
the
centre
of
science
,
and
her
queen
,
Amsterdam
,
that
of
commerce
,
--
Haarlem
preferred
to
be
the
agricultural
,
or
,
more
strictly
speaking
,
the
horticultural
metropolis
.
In
fact
,
girt
about
as
she
was
,
breezy
and
exposed
to
the
sun
's
hot
rays
,
she
seemed
to
offer
to
gardeners
so
many
more
guarantees
of
success
than
other
places
,
with
their
heavy
sea
air
,
and
their
scorching
heat
.
On
this
account
all
the
serene
souls
who
loved
the
earth
and
its
fruits
had
gradually
gathered
together
at
Haarlem
,
just
as
all
the
nervous
,
uneasy
spirits
,
whose
ambition
was
for
travel
and
commerce
,
had
settled
in
Rotterdam
and
Amsterdam
,
and
all
the
politicians
and
selfish
worldlings
at
the
Hague
.
We
have
observed
that
Leyden
overflowed
with
scholars
.
In
like
manner
Haarlem
was
devoted
to
the
gentle
pursuits
of
peace
,
--
to
music
and
painting
,
orchards
and
avenues
,
groves
and
parks
.
Haarlem
went
wild
about
flowers
,
and
tulips
received
their
full
share
of
worship
.
Haarlem
offered
prizes
for
tulip-growing
;
and
this
fact
brings
us
in
the
most
natural
manner
to
that
celebration
which
the
city
intended
to
hold
on
May
15th
,
1673
in
honour
of
the
great
black
tulip
,
immaculate
and
perfect
,
which
should
gain
for
its
discoverer
one
hundred
thousand
guilders
!
