Brugmans / 1 INTRODUCTION This publication is the result of an investigation of documents kept in several archives and libraries in the Netherlands and abroad. The research has been carried out between 1995 and 2004. The execution of this ambitious project has been made possible by the financial support of the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research (NWO, The Hague). This institution awarded me a short time travel grant for two trips to Paris in the spring of 2001. Furthermore I have been supported by a personal donation received from Mrs. A.M. Luyendijk-Elshout, professor emeritus of history of medicine at Leyden University. I also owe much gratitude to the staff members and assistants of the National Archives of North- Holland (Haarlem, The Netherlands), who rendered me invaluable services during the past decade. The same gratitude I owe to Dr. Jean-Jacques Ferrandis, the honorary curator of the Archives and Museum of EASSA/Val the Grâce in Paris and his friendly assistant Camille Gargar, to the employees of the Centre Historique des Archives Nationales (Paris), to the personnel of the Service Historique de l’Armée de Terre (Chateau de Vincennes, Paris), to the librarian and the assistants of the library of the Institut de France (Paris) and to the librarians of the Bibliothèque Nationale de France (Paris). I still remember the many happy hours I spent in the Salle Labrouste (site Rue de Richelieu) of the French national library and later on in the new Bibliothèque Nationale de France (site Quai François Mauriac/Tolbiac). The same gratitude I owe to the curator and to the employees of the Natural History Museum in London (UK), to the librarian of the Teylers Foundation (Haarlem, The Netherlands), to the curator and employees of the Dousa Room of the library of Leyden University, to Harry Leechburch Auwers, the curator of the Library of Museum Boerhaave (National Museum of the History of Science and Medicine, Leyden), to the librarian and archivist of Naturalis (National Museum of Natural History, Leyden) and finally to the employees of all those institutions mentioned on the next page (see: Codes of the locations of origin of the documents), who have contributed to the fast grow of my personal archives on the subject of the fascinating and many-sided scientist Sebald Justinus Brugmans. Van Heiningen / 2 This research of almost a decade has been carried out by me as an independent scholar – a position which rendered me much freedom. The research was initiated as a reply to the official request made by Professor Harm Beukers, then professor of history of medicine of Leyden University (LUMC/department of Metamedica, Leyden, The Netherlands) and Professor Rob Visser (then professor of history of natural sciences at the Faculty of Mathematical and Natural Sciences of Leyden University). All documents, dug up during my countless hunts in the Netherlands, my numerous sejourns in Paris, in Germany (Berlin), in Belgium (Brussels and Ghent) and in the United Kingdom (London), have found their niches in this book, a few printed documents excepted. Of each of these documents the most important details have been recorded at the end of this book: their source (location), file-code, name of the sender (+ town or village), name of the addressee (+ town or village) and date (of dispatching of the document). In most of the problematic cases, a lacking date could be reconstructed after a thorough analysis of the contents of the document, followed by a comparison with other documents, related to it by its contents, its author or its addressee. The description of the documents is preceded by an explanation of the codes of the institutions which have been visited, for as far as these efforts have produced results. In each thematic chapter, chronology has been followed consequently. By doing so, it has been possible to bring into prominence the hidden relation between various letters and also between various correspondents. Further subdivisions have been left out. It is my sincere hope that those who read this biography and its letters, will be pleased by the rich sources and – on the other hand – that they will be able to inform me about the existence of more letters and other documents, which are still unknown to me. This book ends with a complete chronological list – divided into periods – of all the documents, which have been analysed and summarised. Finally an index of names and subjects is given.

  • Scholars, Travellers and Trade
    SCHOLARS, TRAVELLERS AND TRADE Today, the National Museum of Antiquities in Leiden is internationally known for its outstanding archaeological collections. Yet its origins lie in an insignificant assortment of artefacts used for study by Leiden University. How did this transformation come about? Ruurd Halbertsma has delved into the archives to show that the appoint- ment of Caspar Reuvens as Professor of Archaeology in 1818 was the crucial turning point. He tells the dramatic story of Reuvens’ struggle to establish the museum, with battles against rival scholars, red tape and the Dutch attitude of neglect towards archaeological monuments. It was Reuvens who trained archaeological agents to investigate and excavate ancient sites, and bring back the antiquities on which the museum’s importance rests. Though he was operating long before the current debate on whether collecting anti- quities is legal trade or cultural looting, Reuvens recognized the potential ethical problems inherent in achieving a world-class collection. In this, he was ahead of his time. Scholars, Travellers and Trade throws new light on the process of creating a national museum and the difficulties of convincing society of the value of the past – issues with which museums are still wrestling. It also highlights the difficulties that an archaeological pioneer had in establishing his discip- line as a fully accepted branch of academia. Ruurd B. Halbertsma is Curator of the Classical Department at the National Museum of Antiquities, Leiden, The Netherlands. i ii SCHOLARS, TRAVELLERS AND TRADE The pioneer years of the National Museum of Antiquities in Leiden, 1818–40 R.B.

Previously he has been employed as research assistant at the Geldmuseum (Money Museum) in Utrecht. Currently he is employed as a PhD Candidate at the University of Amsterdam, where he works on the integration of financial markets within the Dutch Republic. This research examines the domestic capital market developments within the Dutch Republic. Whereas international relations have been studied more extensively the domestic ‘rooting’ of each location has remained under-researched. Yet, as the current crisis clearly showed, international capital markets are intertwined with domestic ones and they mutually influence each other. Hence, this research aims to improve our understanding of capital markets by taking into account their specific local context, such as political, legal and social institutions.

Noble family Too long were we separated, Now our destiny is one Let us sing united together Humanity's triumphant song.1 With these words, a poet from the Dutch city of AUanaar celebrated the taking of Paris and the defeat of Napoleon by the allied forces in July 1815. It is clear that to his mind the victory should be celebrated together by the Dutch and Belgian people. Having been separated for so long, destiny had now reunited them. The author emphasised the familiar relationship between both nations by using by using words like "brothers" (broeders) and "family" (kroost). The political union between the Dutch and Belgian people was of a very recent date: only a year before, on 21 June 1814, had it been decided, in a confidential treaty-the EightArticles of London-thatthe L.

The Dutch established an enduring system of hegemony by encouraging cultural, social and racial mixing; in other words, by embedding themselves in Javanese culture and society. From the 1890s until the late 1920s this complex system of dominance was transformed by rapid technological innovation, evolutionary thinking, the emergence of Indonesian nationalism, and the intensification of the Dutch “civilizing” mission. This study traces the interactions between Dutch and Indonesian civil servants, officials, nationalists, journalists and novelists, to reveal how these transformations resulted in the transition from cultural hegemony based on feudal traditions and symbols to hegemony grounded in enhanced Westernization and heightened coercion. Consequently, it is argued that we need to understand the civilizing mission ideology and the process of modernization in the colonial context as part of larger cultural projects of control.

  • Hybrid Ambitions
    Andreas Weber · Weber Andreas Andreas Weber Hybrid Ambitions Hybrid Hybrid Ambitions Science, Governance, and Empire in the Career of Caspar G.C. Reinwardt (1773-1854) The life of the German chemist-apothecary Caspar Georg Carl Reinwardt (1773-1854) offers a fascinating window on Dutch culture and society in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. By providing an in-depth analysis of his multi-faceted career in the Netherlands and the Malay Archi- pelago, this study sheds light on the co-evolutionary character of science, governance, and empire. It argues that the seeds of Reinwardt’s professional flexibility lay in his practical training in one of Amsterdam’s chemical workshops and his socializa- tion in a broader cultural context where the improvement of society and economy played a crucial role. Andreas Weber is a historian with a special interest in the history of Dutch colonialism and the history of science. lup dissertations LUP leiden university press Weber.indd 1-3 25-3-2012 9:41:41 Hybrid Ambitions Cover illustration: A field sketch of Reinwardt and his helpers made by Jannes Theodorus Bik during an expedition through West-Java in 1819. © Rijksmuseum Amsterdam, Album van schetsen en kleurteekeningen door J.Th.

For various acts of kindness I owe thanks to my colleague, Professor Fred A. Cazel, Jr.; to Dr. J. Norman Parmer, now of the University of Maryland; and most recently to Professor C.

I must thank Mrs. Betty G. Seaver for her personal interest in the manuscript, much of which, to its benefit, she typed. FinaIly, I must express appreciation to the administrative authorities of the University of Connecticut for a semester's sabbaticalleave which permitted a great deal of the research and writing to be completed.
