Ad 1: Fourth edition of these edifying poems by Jan van Elsland (1671?-1736). The first edition was printed in 1718 in Haarlem by Herman and M. van Hulkenroy; the second edition appeared in 1735.
Ad 2: Third edition of these epoems by Govert van Mater (1697-1729), a Haarlem author and poet who belonged to the literary circle around Pieter Merkman. The first edition of these poems was published by the same printer in 1718; a second edition appeared in 1739.
Ad 3: First and only edition of these religious poems by Willem Hessen (1702-1741), a baker from Haarlem who was one of the leaders of the Chamber of rhetoric 'De Wijngaardranken'. In the famous Blaaskakeriana by Pieter Langendijk, Hessen is mentioned in a rather satirical way.
