= "(...) in de Patriottentijd, toen de burgerij zich heel nadrukkelijk met binnenlandse politiek ging bezighouden. Deftige herensociëteiten werden plotseling getransformeerd tot politieke clubs. Het koffiehuis diende nu als aktiecentrum voor het opstellen van petities. Maar de moraliserende weekbladen hebben deze politieke emancipatie niet begeleid, laat staan gedirigeerd. Zij bleven als voorheen vertogen leveren over abstracte thema's als vrijheid en vaderlandsliefde. Concrete invulling van die idealen werd overgelaten aan diverse partijbladen die in de jaren tachtig ontstaan, zoals de patriottische Post van den Neder-Rhyn (1781-1787) van Pieter 't Hoen en zijn orangistische tegenhanger, De Ouderwetse Nederlandsche Patriot (1781-1782) van Rijklof Michaël van Goens."
