His arguments for freedom of every kind of thought and speech have never been improved on" (PMM).Gedachten voer vrijheid is relatively scarce in institutions worldwide: WorldCat records just two copies in institutions outside the Netherlands, at the British Library and the Vlaamse Erfgoedbibliotheek in Belgium.
