Excerpt from Journal of a Steam Voyage: Down the Danube to Constantinople, and Thence by Way of Malta and Marseilles to England, 1842 In the evening we drove to Laaken, a pretty village near the town. Here Malibran was buried, and an ugly square tomb is erected over her remains. In the church there was an interesting scene of the village children at confession. We then drove as near as we were permitted to the royal residence at Laaken, and returned by the outskirts of the park to Brussels. Left 3. Card for Professor Quetelet at the Observatory.
