De firma Nijhoff verlangde bij de uitgaaf der door ons in syste- matische orde uitgegeven Verspreide Geschriften van Fruin registers, die het gebruik daarvan vergemakkelijken zouden voor het publiek. Wij begrepen dat verlangen, maar konden daaraan niet voldoen. Alleen wenschten wij aan het publiek rekenschap te geven , welke werken van Früin wij in onze uitgaaf opgenomen hebben, welke wij gemeend hebben te moeten weglaten. Wij hebben dit thans gedaan in het eerste register, dat in dezen bundel is afgedrukt. Deze chronologische lijst van Fruin's geschriften, samengesteld door den nauwkeurigen ijver van L. D. Petit, is door eenige vrienden en vereerders van Fruin op zijn 758ten verjaardag hem aangeboden, als een monument van zijne vruchtbare werkzaam- heid. Zijne bescheidenheid wenschte destijds de uitgaaf niet; zoo is het stuk slechts in zéér beperkten kring verspreid. Wij hebben het thans eenigszins omgewerkt en hier en daar aangevuld, en telkens aangeduid, waar elk stuk in onze uitgaaf te vinden is; als het niet herdrukt werd, is de reden daarvan meestal aange- duid door verwijzing naar eene noot in de uitgaaf zelf. Daarmede achten wij onze werkzaamheid en ook onze verant- woordelijkheid geëindigd. De firma Nijhoff was echter niet geheel voldaan; zij heeft achter onze chronologische lijst der werken nog VOORWOORD. eene alphabetische lijst daarvan doen bewerken, die inderdaad het opzoeken der stukken zeer zal vergemakkelijken. Zeer gelukkig trof het bovendien , dat Ds. K. Vos te Woudsend een alphabetisch register op den inhoud der werken vervaardigd had, dat hij in een schrijven aan de firma Nijhoff te harer beschikking stelde. Het aanbod is gaarne aanvaard. Ook wij zijn van oordeel, dat de heer Vos aan het publiek door zijn arbeid een goeden dienst heeft bewezen. Met diep leedwezen herinneren wij hier aan het groote verlies, dat de vaderlandsche wetenschap heeft geleden door het over- lijden van onzen vriend en mede-redacteur Dr. P. L. Muller op 25 December 1904. Hij heeft de algeheele voltooiing van den druk van dit werk, dat hij in handschrift nog geheel onder het oog heeft gehad , helaas niet mogen beleven. P. J. Blok. S.

  • Rüter, the Historian
    TH.J. G.LOCHER RUTER, THE HISTORIAN The unexpected death of Adolf Johann Cord Riiter on August n, 1965, has deeply affected his colleagues and co-workers, his students and his friends. But if for them all his decease was a grievous personal loss, for his country it was more; both the pursuit and the teaching of history have suffered inestimably through his passing. In the follo- wing pages an attempt will be made to give a brief outline of Riiter's work as a historian and a professor of history, an account of his activities as director of the International Institute of Social History in Amsterdam being left to a more competent hand. Riiter was one of the first and foremost protagonists of the study of social history in the Netherlands, a pioneer in a field not very much cultivated before him. He did not, however, become a specialist in the narrow sense of the word, and was always aware that social history was an aspect, or part, of history as a whole. His main works - the one on the great railway strike of 1903,1 and the other on the railway strike of 1944-194 52 in the Netherlands - give testimony to this kind of approach, each of them describing an important event in the social history of his country, framed in the larger setting of the political and economic history of the period. Riiter's predilection for social history was not inherited from those under whom he read history at the Leiden University during the years 1926-1931: Huizinga, in his books and courses on the history of civilization, gave little attention to social questions, and Colen- brander's principal interest lay in political and constitutional history.

  • Abraham Kuyper's Historical Understanding and Reformed
    Fides et Historia XXXVII (Winter/Spring 2005) 71-82 Abraham Kuyper’s Historical Understanding and Reformed Historiography George Harinck Abraham Kuyper’s historical understanding was shaped by religion and national identity. Both aspects have to be understood as typical nineteenth century interactions with modernity. To clarify this, I will start with a sketch of the state of mind of the Dutch nation at the time when Kuyper came of age. The second theme of religion will follow suit. The United Kingdom of the Netherlands was a result of the deliberations of the pan-European Congress of Vienna (1814-1815). The aim of the four triumphant Great Powers at the Congress was to erect a barrier of strong states around trouble-maker France. Europe knew that France had lost a battle, but the history of the last twenty years suggested that at any time France might start waging war again. And indeed, when Napoleon escaped from Elba early in 1815, the threat was there again. It was a great relief that after a tense period known as the Hundred Days Napoleon was defeated at Waterloo – a great relief it was: London got its Waterloo Station as a reminder, Amsterdam its Waterloo Square - , but his ghost kept on threatening Europe, and containment was the answer. As a result of this diplomatic aim of the Congress of Vienna the Kingdom of the Netherlands was born. The territory of the new Kingdom matched the combined territory of the old Dutch Republic and of the former Spanish Netherlands, the present Belgium. As such, the kingdom reminded of the unity of the Netherlands before 1581.

    CHAPTER TWO THE RHETORIC OF THE MARKET The crucial criterion for successful participation in the seventeenth- century Dutch public debate was the establishment of authority. Con- front ed with the limits imposed by convention and censorship, authors had to search for powerful patronage to support their publications and overcome potential opposition. The history behind the œuvre of the brothers De la Court reveals that this was no easy task: though he was initially backed by De Witt and the political establishment, De la Court quickly lost this support after the publication of the Interest van Holland, he was scorned by the public and his works were banned by the church. Yet apart from offfijicial patronage, there was also a second, more powerful way to establish one’s authority and thereby undermine the authority of others: the power of language.1 With their humanist education, the broth- ers De la Court, like all seventeenth-century authors, knew how to apply that power most efffectively thanks to the study of rhetoric. Since antiquity, the teaching and practice of rhetoric had played a cen- tral role in public life, offfering the foremost comprehensive system for the creation and evaluation of speech – and thus, for society’s most important feature: human communication. Famous Roman orators and theorists such as Cicero and Quintilian, who elaborated on a rich Greek rhetorical legacy, left hugely influential treatises that would dominate discussions on the subject for centuries. With the advent of humanism, this rhetorical tradition received new attention and emphasis. In line with the teachings of the classics, rhetoric came to be seen as an essential element of the ideal of a vir bonus dicendi peritus, the virtuous citizen who engages actively in the public life of the polity by eloquently advising his sovereign and instructing his fellow citizens to pursue truth and reason.2 1 See Kevin Sharpe, Reading Revolutions.

  • Scott Shapiro November 7, 2014 Attached Are the First Two Chapters
    Scott Shapiro November 7, 2014 Attached are the first two chapters from a book manuscript that I am writing with my colleague Oona Hathaway, tentatively titled “THE WORST CRIME OF ALL: THE PARIS PEACE PACT AND THE BEGINNING OF THE END OF WAR.” This cover note is meant to help situate the chapters in the broader project. The first part describes what we call the Old World Order—a system that relied on war as the linchpin of law. The first two chapters center on Grotius and the legal order he helped establish. The subsequent chapters of this part show how war was a source of legal redress and legal rights. The legal rights to territory, people, and goods were decided by war—even ones that were entirely unjust. The second part of the book—comprised of four chapters—tells the story of what we argue is a deep shift in the legal meaning of war—the end of the Old World Order and the beginning of something fundamentally new. This shift, we argue, has consequences not just for states’ recourse to war, but for international law and the international system as a whole. The chapter that begins this second part of the book examines the “war to outlaw war”—the global movement to reject the remedial conception of war that characterized the Old World Order. That chapter ends with the signing of the 1928 Kellogg-Briand Pact (also called the Paris Peace Pact or Briand-Kellogg Pact). The next chapter examines the consequences that flowed from the decision to reject the legal rules that underpinned the Old World Order without first sorting out the legal rules and institutions that would take their place.

  • And the Dutch Tradition of Republicanism Catherine Secretan Centre National De La Recherche Scientifique, Paris
    “True Freedom” and the Dutch Tradition of Republicanism Catherine Secretan Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, Paris POLITICAL DEBATE FILLED A BROAD SPACE IN DUTCH INTELLECTUAL LIFE throughout the seventeenth century. In perhaps no other European country did discussing political issues be- come such common practice. From learned circles to schuitpraatje (“barge talk”), through Cort bewijs (“short demonstrations”) or single sheets of Warachtighe waerschouwinghe (“true warn- ing”), the proofs of political passions expressed verbally are countless. Due to high literacy levels, many ordinary people were able to take part in written debates, and the numerous printers and booksellers in Dutch cities like Amsterdam, Leiden, or Utrecht took full commercial advantage of the favorable situation.1 Hence, the number of texts written in the vernacular instead of Latin grew rapidly—an alarming phenomenon in the eyes of those who thought it unwise to present the common people with controversies that had not been “smoothed over” by scholars.2 With this wealth of printed material, the Dutch were laying the foundation of a public sphere that con- tributed late in the century to the emergence of the Radical Enlightenment. At the same time, this passion for political debate illustrates one of the striking features of Dutch politics through- out the seventeenth century: the constant reinvention of the newly formed state as it rose to be- come an independent republic. 1 Editions of a thousand or more of what are usually called “pamphlets” were not an exception; see Maarten Prak, The Dutch Republic in the Seventeenth Century (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2009), 187–88, 225.

This growth began in all of the cities in the Dutch Republic (fig 1) around 1610 and lasted until around mid-century in most of them. This was also true in Leiden, although it ground to a temporary halt in 1631 with the sudden departure of several painters, ushering in a period of artistic stagnation lasting close to a decade.
