	University of Delaware Library: Forging a Collection
		In the summer of 1840, booksellers and collectors throughout Europe received a catalog describing a remarkable book collection which would shortly be sold at auction in a sale to be held on August 10, 1840, in Binche, a small town in the southwest of Belgium.

	Expatica's Belgian news in English: Binche's big party
		Before this period of extreme asceticism, Binche lets its hair down for some memorable merrymaking in a festival known in French as as "carnaval" (from the Latin for 'carne,' meat,' and 'levare,' to remove or raise).
		Today, Binche is mainly a working-class town, though its royal origins can still be seen in the 12th and 14th century ramparts, with their some 27 towers, that have miraculously survived and are quite unusual in Belgium.
		In addition, the Binche gilles are never allowed to leave their city to partake in pageants elsewhere, the only exception being the 1958 world exposition when they came to Brussels.

		In the absence of my Third Army Corps I desired to keep the cavalry division as much as possible as a reserve to act on my outer flank, or move in support of any threatened part of the line.
		The right of the Third Division, under Gen. Hamilton, was at Mons, which formed a somewhat dangerous salient; and I directed the commander of the Second Corps to be careful not to keep the troops on this salient too long, but, if threatened seriously, to draw back the centre behind Mons.
		This was supported by the artillery of both the First and Second Divisions, while the First Division took up a supporting position in the neighbourhood of Peissant.

		Henneberg, a strange and fascinating writer, deserves a paragraph to himself, and he is going to get it in a minute, as soon as I explain how he is related to Vera and to CandS cited above (and to me, through an article I wrote in 1985 for the Needle and Bobbin Club).
		All of these writers, including Vera, are concerned with one or another variation of the famous old Flemish snowflake feature generally known as Fond de Neige and developed from its beginnings in Flanders to fabulous designs in antique Valenciennes and Binche.
		Fond de Neige can be made in a dizzying number of ways, and one of Henneberg's distinctions is that he analyzed and categorized these many techniques into a few groupings.
