Notes

Adriaan Loosjes was a botanist, poet, novelist, translator and publisher who was active in the Patriot movement against the House of Orange Staadtholder. From a family of Mennonite ministers, he started his first literary society in 1777. In 1782, he began to produce plays, which he wrote, acted in, and published himself, becoming a Haarlem bookseller.

In 1795 when the French occupation began, the activities of Democriet reached their peak, and after that moment the society began to show similarities with freemasonry. Loosjes wrote several books and plays, and translated historical works from English into Dutch.
