Brummel, Twee ballingen 's lands tijdens onze opstand tegen Spanje (1972): "Zijn werk heeft niet alleen (...) het materiaal bijeengebracht voor de latere historicus, maar het was tevens en vooral het leesboek, dat de bewoners van deze landen hun politiek verleden en heden leerde kennen of in herinnering bracht. De jaren van geweld en onderdrukking, van lijden en verzet gingen voor het eerst in een aaneengeschakeld verhaal aan hun geestesoog voorbij. Dit boek was een machtig wapen in onze strijd voor de vrijheid. (...) Wat voor de godsdienst de Statenbijbel, voor de letteren Cats was, bleef een eeuw lang Van Meteren voor onze geschiedenis. De man, die dit boek gedurende 30 jaren met zijn zorgen heeft omringd, leefde buitens land. Het mag een wonder heten, dat hij, die van zijn 15e jaar af in Londen gewoond heeft en slechts nu en dan voor een korte tijd ons land bezocht, zoveel materiaal kon verzamelen en bewerken, dat voor een deel tot op de huidige dag zijn waarde nog niet verloren heeft" (p.171).
