De Geusen, door Jonkheer Onno Zwier van Haren Fries edelman.
Te Zwolle, By Simon Clement, 1771. (8), 224, (2, errata, blank) pp. 8vo. Contemporary hal calf, paper covered boards, spine with raised bands, label with gilt lettering, corners a bit bumped. First edition. Haren published, in 1769, a work entitled "Aan het Vaderland" which he later called "a test", a prelude, to this work. This 1771 edition was published in a limited edition as a private publication to be given away. This copy has been offered to de Heer Casteele and the gift is signed by Haren. Onno Zwier van Haren (Leeuwarden 1713 - Wolvega 1779) made a brilliant career as friend and advisor to the Stadholder Willem IV, and was appointed chairman, in 1746, of the Raad van State (Council of State). The accusation of incest by two of his daughters marked the end of his political career but signalled the beginning of his literary career. The present work, an epic poem in 24 cantos, deals with the war against Spain under the leadership of the House of Orange.
