His controversial book created a rather tempered chain reaction, first with the publication of "Bedenkingen van een' jong' soldaat, tegen eenige der denkbeelden van een' oud' soldaat (.)" Amersfoort, 1843). When also the pamphlet "Vlugtige bedenkingen tegen de denkbeelden van een oud soldaat (.)" appeared shortly thereafter, Stieltjes was quick to respond and his publisher issued in haste the publication "Nadere ontwikkeling (.)" (Nijmegen 1843). A few years later Stieltjes wrote in length his "Is Nederland nog te verdedigen? Toestemmend beantwoord door den schrijver der denkbeelden van een oud - soldaat (.)" (Nijmegen, 1849), to be followed by "'Hoe Nederland te verdedigen is. In ruwe trekken aangeduid, door een Oud-Soldaat" (Nijmegen, 1853). See also: W. J. Knoop in "De Gids", 14th year, 1949-50.

Roldanus submitted this work to a competition called in 1886 by the Vereeniging ter beoefening van de Krijgswetenschap, titled "De approviandeering der ontworpen stelling van Amsterdam, hare voorbereiding in tijd van vrede en hare uitvoering bij het uitbreken van een oorlog." The three contributors shared the price of fl. 500 but only Roldanus' work was found suitable for publication. In his work he goes into great detail as to the necessary provisions required both in time of peace and at war. In the supplementary tables he even provides a census of neighbouring municipalities, villages and hamlets that form the Defence Line of Amsterdam and specifies how many kilograms of meat, potatoes, peas, beans, rice, sugar, coffee, salt, paper, etc. etc. would be necessary to support these populations.

2 volumes in-8, plein veau havane, dos à nerfs (rel. moderne), viij, 310 p. et 323 p., vignettes, culs-de-lampe et 3 planches dépliantes. Première édition illustrée de 3 planches dont 2 dépliantes et de jolies vignettes. Chaque oeuvre figure sous page de titre particulière. Bien que diffusée confidentiellement, l'oeuvre d'Hemsterhuis exerça une influence majeure sur ses contemporains: Diderot, qui le fréquenta et le commenta, Friedrich Heinrich Jacobi dont la 'Lettre à M Hemsterhuis' sur Spinoza (1784) est insérée pour la première fois dans cette édition, mais aussi Herder, Goethe, Hölderlin, Novalis et Schlegel. "Les thèmes des données immédiates de la conscience et du retour à la vie simple qu‘illustrera Bergson sont toujours présents (…). Bien avant les romantiques, il proclame l’union de la poésie et de la philosophie dans un éloge de l’enthousiasme qui met l’imagination à la source de toute appréhension de la vérité (…). L’apport fondamental de Hemsterhuis à la pensée de son temps est de l’avoir, par son platonisme, écarté de tout empirisme et de tout matérialisme sans pour autant la limiter à une fonction critique, mais en lui restituant son sens métaphysique" (J.-L. Vieillard-Baron, 'Hemsterhuis platonicien', in XVIIIe siècle, VII, 1975, p. 129-146). Sur l'importance de l'oeuvre d'Hemsterhuis, sa singularité et ses recherches visant à "retrouver l'originalité profonde du spinozisme et à la dégager des perversions modernes", cf. P. Vernière, 'Spinoza et la pensée française', p. 668-673. (R.E. Stoddard, 'Hemsterhuis, bibliography', "The Book collector", vol. 50/2, n°13, p. 197). Faux-titre du tome I légèrement grisé dans la marge. Petit défaut à un mors. Quelques petites rousseurs et piqûres éparses. Bon exemplaire, frais, non rogné.
