CONTENTS
In the following pages we shall attempt to present our Readers, with a
Life of HUGO GROTIUS; and MINUTES OF THE CIVIL, ECCLESIASTICAL, AND
LITERARY HISTORY OF THE NETHERLANDS.
In writing these pages, we principally consulted his life, written in
the French language, by _M. de Burigni_, Member of the French Royal
Academy of Inscriptions and Belles Lettres; an English translation of
it, was published in 1754, in one Volume, 8vo.;
_Hugonis Grotii Manes, ab iniquis obtrectationibus vindicati_; 2
vols. 8vo. 1727: the author of this work is said to be M. Lehman;
The article _Grotius_, in _Bayle's and Chalmers's
Dictionaries_;
And many of the letters in _Hugonis Grotii Epistolae_, published at
Amsterdam in 1687, in one volume, folio; and many in the _Praestantium
et Eruditorum Virorum Epistolae Ecclesiasticae_, published at Amsterdam
in 1684, in one volume, 4to.
