On Oldtown en zijne inwoners, by Harriet Beecher-Stowe, translated into Dutch by P.J. Roode, pastor at Harencarspel (Rotterdam: H. Nijgh, 1869). In this review of Roode’s translation of Oldtown Folks (1869), Kuyper judges that Stowe’s book is not useful for Dutch readers because its description of social and religious life in the American colonies during the War of Independence is too uncritical. Only personal familiarity with Oldtown and its affairs could make up for the book’s lack of conviction and character.
