A Dutch minor poet and critic; born in Amsterdam, Dec. 10, 1694; died there, June 13, 1758. Quite destitute of originality, but of faultless taste, he made his literary verdicts respected; and translated Voltaire's "Henriade", Fenelon's "Telemachus", and other French plays into correct if somewhat insipid Dutch verse of marked Gallic flavor.
