(...) Today the book easily belongs to the most interesting early A B C books, but at the time it only knew a short-lived popularity, as the Dutch Patriotic Revolution was completely defeated in 1787, only a few years before the outbreak of the Great French Revolution, and never really recovered."; BNK 38: "Wat Swildens voor ogen stond was een geïntegreerd leer- en leesboek in verlicht patriottische geest dat het oude, confessioneel gebonden haneboek geheel zou vervangen."
