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 Epistol, published at Amsterdam in 1687, in one volume, folio; and many in the Prstantium et Eruditorum Virorum Epistol Ecclesiastic, published at Amsterdam in 1684, in one volume, 4to.

For what we have said on GERMANY AND THE NETHERLANDS, we principally consulted,

Schmidt's Histoire des Allemands;

Pfeffell's Histoire Abreg de l'Allemagne, 2 vols. 8vo.;

Mr. Durnford's excellent Translation, of Professor Ptter's Historical Developement, of the Political History of the German Empire; 3 vols. 8vo.;

And Hugonis Grotii Annales, et Histori de Rebus Belgicis, one vol. 8vo. Amsterdam, 1658.

In our account of the troubles on Arminianism, and the Synod of Dort; we principally consulted, the French Abridgment, in 3 vols. 8vo. of Brand's History of the Netherlands, and Grotius's excellent Apology:

In every part of the work, we have consulted other publications;three only of these we shall mention;

The three Bibliothcques of Le Clerc;

The Life of Arminius, and

Calvinism and Arminianism Compared, by Mr. James Nichols.

8001581.

---

We propose to present to our readers, in this chapter, a succinct account, of the Geography, Devolution, and Literature of the Netherlands,-considering them, until they became subject to the princes of the House of Burgundy, as a portion of the German Empire, and included in its history:and from that time, as forming a separate territory.

8001581.

Contemplating the Netherlands in the first of these views,-we shall briefly mention the Boundaries and Government, of the German Empire, and the state of learning in its territories, during the Carlovingian, Saxon, Franconian and Suabian Dynasties, and the period, which intervened, between the last Suabian emperor and the election of the Emperor Charles the fifth.
