Book excerpt: Known to his contemporaries for his sharpness of mind, strength of purpose, fortitude, and good humor, John de Witt was a brilliant leader whose career ended in a death of horror rarely paralleled in history. Herbert Rowen's biography embraces all aspects of De Witt's political, intellectual, and personal life, including his role as a mathematician admired by Newton, an "unphilosophical Cartesian," and a political thinker. The author describes De Witt's youth, Dutch society of his day, and his central part in the domestic and foreign politics of the Dutch Republic from 1651 to 1672. He puts De Witt's relation to the House of Orange in a new light, more subtle than in the traditional history. He also examines in detail De Witt's system of government as councilor pensionary of Holland. Originally published in 1978.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from John De Witt, Grand Pensionary of Holland, Vol. 1 of 2: Or Twenty Years of a Parliamentary Republic Fresh researches and unpublished documents may confer some interest on the present work, which has been for many years in preparation with the aid of much valued assistance. It was composed in the Library and Archive Office at the Hague, thanks to the obliging help of the learned Director of the Royal Library, M. Campbell of the deputy-keeper of the Archives, M. De J onge, who was prematurely called from his work; and one of his most distinguished assistants, M. Haig man. It is by studying the public and private correspondence of the Grand Pensionary year by year, that his history can be most faithfully written.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Administration of John De Witt: Grand Pensionary of Holland; 1623-1651 The period comprehended in the following book is not a heroic period, and John de Witt is, in no sense, a hero. His age has little in common with the noble epoch described with so much graphic force by Mr. Motley, and, in studying it, we are moving in altogether a lower world of human interest, passion, duty, and activity. But this has had less to do with the neglect of the period by modern Dutch historians than the extreme difficulty, and the ever-recurring impossibility, of getting at the precise measure of De Witts personal work and influence; and it is the overwhelming labour this entails among unpublished manuscripts that has stood in the way of any serious attempt being hitherto made to write an account of his life or a history of his administration. His public life, and all that can be gleaned of his private life, lie entombed beneath mountains of unprinted letters and documents. Yet, in some respects, so scanty are the materials that, for some years before he entered on public life, his professional occupation and whereabouts can only be arrived at by piecing together the addresses of the extant letters sent to him by his friends.
