ET: Parliamentary speeches. Volume I. Parliamentary opinions.

Kuyper’s speeches from his first period as a member of Parliament (1874–1877) had already been published in 1890 (see 1890.06). This first volume of a four-volume edition contains the speeches he delivered during his second period as a member of Parliament (1894–1901). The other three volumes contain his contributions as minister of the interior (1901–1905) in the First and Second Chambers of the States General.

The speeches in this volume were reprinted from 1895.01, 1895.25, 1896.06, 1896.18, 1897.02, 1897.13, 1898.07, 1899.05, 1899.30, 1900.06, 1900.22, and 1901.01. These entries make it clear that not everything Kuyper said in Parliament is reproduced in this volume. His shorter contributions are frequently omitted and the selection of passages is sometimes rather arbitrary. According to the contract (KA 316), these volumes were prepared by H. de Wilde (see 1903.17 and 1905.12). The four volumes were published without introduction or preface. Cross-references and explanatory notes are also lacking. The chronology of the speeches is repeatedly disregarded. Finally, there are no indices. According to De Standaard, no. 18528, September 12, 1932, the publication was a fiasco. Compared to the unpretentious (unbound) edition of 1890.06, the monumental binding used for this publication raised expectations, but the work failed to live up to its promise.

In 1917 the bureau of the Dutch Federation of Young Men’s Associations on Reformed Principles published a subject index for the four volumes (see app. 1.06).
