Jahrhundert hinein. (...)"; not in Tiele.

= "(...) 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." (Buijnsters, Spectatoriale geschriften, p.76).

81 2616 Batavian revolution and patriots Capellen tot den Poll J D van der 
= Knuttel, Verboden boeken 423; Knuttel 19864. Probably the most notorious anti-orangist pamphlet, published anonymously, causing a stir and string of reactions in the Netherlands upon publication. "Er werd dan 25 en 26 September 1781 op de straten der voornaamste Hollandsche steden een boekje gevonden, dat als een donderslag in de ooren deed klinken van allen, allen in den lande, vriend en vijand. (...) Het droeg den naam van Ostende als plaats van herkomst aan het einde, maar ieder wist wel, dat de schrijver met het noemen van den naam dier toenmalige vrijplaats voor politieke misdadigers niets anders bedoelde dan dat hij wist waarheen te vluchten als hij ooit bekend werd." (A. LOOSJES, Een Krachtig Libel. Studie over het pamflet Aan het volk van Nederland, p.13 (Haarlem, 1886)).
