Note 315 — Chapter IV
Reading edition
The most instructive and entertaining of tourists, J. G. Kohl—so aptly characterized by Davies as the "Herodotus of modern Europe"—furnishes a great amount of interesting information on the dikes of the Low German seacoast, in his Inseln und Marschen der Herzogthümer Schleswig und Holstein. I am acquainted with no popular work on this subject which the reader can consult with greater profit. See also Staring, Voormaals en Thans, and De Bodem van Nederland, on the dikes of the Netherlands.
