ET: Twinkling stars. A collection of asterisms by the late Dr. A. Kuyper with introductory remarks by Dr. H. Colijn.

A collection of 429 of Kuyper’s so-called driestar [three-star] commentaries, or asterisms (analogous to present-day columns; cf. 1958.02), from De Standaard. On the origin of the asterisms see 1872.02. The driestarren are organized in nine rubrics: party-formation and struggle over principles; social life; the school struggle; our royal house; general politics; the conservatives; the liberals; the peace movement, international law; and miscellaneous. H. Colijn wrote the foreword. The collection opens with an article Kuyper published on April 1, 1872, to introduce De Standaard to its readers. This article is also included in 1922.01, 1972.01, and 1998.03 (English translation, pp. 317–322). In a note the anonymous compiler of this collection (J.K. van Loon, archivist of De Standaard) mentions that Kuyper wrote more than 16,800 asterisms between 1872 and 1919.
