Staatkundig en heldhaftig Zeeland - De la Ruë, Pieter 1695-1770 (Middelburg Callenfels, 1736)
Contains descriptions of the lives of men who have been important in the Dutch province of Zeeland. The first part is about members of (local) governments, the second part deals with 'heroes', mainly seafaring merchants of the VOC and WIC. Both sections are arranged alphabetically.
