''Holland: The History of the Netherlands'' by Thomas Colley Grattan is a comprehensive historical account of the Netherlands, covering its political, social, and cultural development from the early Middle Ages to the 19th century.

He also examines the country’s unique political and social institutions, including its system of government and its emphasis on religious tolerance.
