ILLUSTRATED BY CHARLES HOWARD JOHNSON BOSTON LEE AND SHEPARD PUBLISHERS 10 MILK STREET 1893 COPYRIGHT, 1892, BY INGERSOLL LOCKWOOD All Rights Reserved MARVELLOUS UNDERGROUND JOURNEY ------------------------------------------------------------------------ BIOGRAPHICAL NOTICE OF WILHELM HEINRICH SEBASTIAN VON TROOMP, COMMONLY CALLED LITTLE BARON TRUMP As doubting Thomases seem to take particular pleasure in popping up on all occasions, Jack-in-the-Box-like, it may be well to head them off in this particular instance by proving that Baron Trump was a real baron, and not a mere baron of the mind.

The family was originally French Huguenot—De la Trompe—which, upon the revocation of the Edict of Nantes in 1685, took refuge in Holland, where its head assumed the name of Van der Troomp, just as many other of the French Protestants rendered their names into Dutch.
