"Huydecopers Proeve werd druk bestudeerd door leden van de letterkundige genootschappen die vanaf het midden van de achttiende eeuw worden opgericht. Door Frans van Lelyveld wordt Huydecoper geroemd om de manier waarop hij de Nederlandse taalkunde beoefende en bestempeld als de leermeester van vele leden van de Maatschappij der Nederlandsche Letterkunde. Hij was overigens degene die na Huydecopers dood in 1782 en 1784 het eerste respectievelijk het tweede deel van de herdruk van de Proeve uitgaf. Na Van Lelyvelds vroegtijdige dood voltooide Nicolaas Hinlópen het derde (1788) en het vierde (register)deel (1791)." (Bio- en bibliografisch lexicon van de neerlandistiek).
