ET: Bilderdijk’s importance to the nation. Speech delivered in Amsterdam on Oct. 1, 1906.

On the 300th anniversary of the painter, engraver, and draftsman Rembrandt Harmensz. van Rijn (1606–1669), festive commemorations were also organized to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the lawyer, poet, and writer Willem Bilderdijk (1756–1831). Kuyper was named one of the eight honorary members of the committee charged with organizing the commemoration in the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam on October 1–2, 1906. During the celebration on October 1, Kuyper delivered the Bilderdijk speech in a program that featured organ recitals, choral music, and hymn singing. In consideration of the national audience, Kuyper did not discuss Bilderdijk in reference to Da Costa, Groen van Prinsterer, Elout van Soeterwoude, and Keuchenius; instead, he emphasized Bilderdijk’s national significance.

The speech was published with more than a hundred notes (pp. [49]–85; cf. 1907. 03). As agreed by contract (KA 315), the first edition and the “second printing” (tweede druk on the cover and title page) were printed simultaneously in a single print run of 1,000 copies each (cf. 1900.07).
