On quite another part of the comprehensive field of Grotius' works an extremely interesting inaugural speech of C. van der Woude has lately been published, held before the theological University at Kampen and entitled: “Hugo Grotius en zijn (and his) Pietas Ordinum Hollandlae ac Westfrisiae vindicata”. In this speech the author, giving evidence of his extensive knowledge and of his erudition, explains the contra-remonstrant view as to this notorious pamphlet of Grotius.
