This article focuses on the book "Léopold of the Belgians," by Comte Louis de Lichtervelde. The author says that Leopold, king of Belgium, was early possessed by the idea that Belgium must have a colony. In 1869, four years after he became king, he cast a glance at the Philippines, and after the Franco-Prussian War looked over the Spanish possessions in the West Indies and studied the openings for European penetration in China which Count de Lichtervelde gives a commendably clear account, eventually transformed what began as a personal adventure of Léopold.
