        Abstract

In the years 1777-1778 four volumes were published under the title Legal Observations
on Several Dark and Until Now Unverified Sections of the Introduction. The volumes
were composed by a society of young legal practitioners from The Hague (Nether-
lands), the most famous among them beingJoannes van der Linden. By then Grotius's
Introduction to the Jurisprudence ofHolland was still the cornerstone of the law of Hol-
land and around the year 18oo it would become the fundament for attempts to codify
this law. Today the Legal Observations can function as entrance to the historical sourc-
es of the law of Holland as described by Grotius and developed further after publica-
tion of his Introduction.
