Ad 1: Van Slingelandt's writings were highly sought after in the eighteenth century and only available through copies of his manuscripts such as the ones we offer for sale. In the preface (1784) to the enclosed edition of Van Slingelandt's works the publisher writes: "Het is bekend, dat de nagelaaten Geschriften (…) sedert langen tyd door veelen in ons Land, Regenten en Burgers, met een ongemeene greetigheid gezocht, en door den eenen van den anderen steeds in menigte zyn afgeschreeven (…)". Ad 2: Van Slingelandt was a republican by nature and his ideas were adopted by the Patriots in the generations after his death. His Political Writings were published in 1784-85 which had a great influence at the end of the 18th c. Later in the 19th c. Thorbecke was influenced to a great extent by Van Slingelandt.€ 400
