Witt, Johan de Born: Sept. 24, 1625, Dordrecht, Neth. Died: Aug. 20, 1672, The Hague One of the foremost European statesmen of the 17th century who as councillor pensionary (the political leader) of Holland (1653-72) guided the United Provinces in the First and Second Anglo-Dutch wars (1652-54, 1665-67) and consolidated the nation's naval and commercial power. De Witt was a member of one of the old burgher-regent families of his native town of Dordrecht (Dort). His father, Jacob, was six times burgomaster and for many years sat for the town in the States of Holland. He was a strenuous adherent of the republican or oligarchical states-right party in opposition to the princes of the House of Orange, who represented the federal principle and had the support of the masses of the people. De Witt was educated at Leiden and early displayed remarkable talents, especially in mathematics and jurisprudence. His Elementa curvarum linearum (written before 1650, but published 1659-61) was one of the first textbooks in analytic geometry. (He later also applied his mathematical knowledge to the financial and budgetary problems of the republic.) In 1645 he and his elder brother Cornelius visited France, Italy, Switzerland, and England, and on his return he lived at The Hague as an advocate. In 1650 he was appointed pensionary of Dordrecht, which made him the leader of the town's deputation in the States of Holland. In this year the States of Holland found themselves engaged in a struggle for provincial supremacy, on the question of the disbanding of troops. The youthful prince of Orange, William II, with the support of the States General and the army, seized five of the leaders of the states-right party and imprisoned them in Loevestein Castle; among these was Jacob de Witt. The sudden death of William, at the moment when he had crushed opposition, led to a reaction. He left only a posthumous child, afterwards William III of Orange; the principles advocated by Jacob de Witt triumphed, and the authority of the States became predominant in the republic.

He was reelected in 1658, 1663 and 1668, and held office until his death in 1672. During this period of nineteen years the general conduct of public affairs and administration, and especially of foreign affairs, such was the confidence inspired by his talents and industry, was largely placed in his hands. He found in 1653 his country brought to the brink of ruin through the war with England, which had been caused by the keen commercial rivalry of the two maritime states. The Dutch were unprepared, and suffered severely through the loss of their carrying trade, and De Witt resolved to bring about peace as soon as possible. The first demands of Oliver Cromwell were impossible, for they aimed at the absorption of the two republics into a single state, but at last in the autumn of 1654 peace was concluded, by which the Dutch made large concessions and agreed to the striking of the flag to English ships in the narrow seas. The treaty included a secret article, which the states-general refused to entertain, but which De Witt succeeded in inducing the states of Holland to accept, by which the provinces of Holland pledged themselves not to elect a stadtholder or a captain-general of the union. This Act of Seclusion, as it was called, was aimed at the young prince of Orange, whose close relationship to the Stuarts made him an object of suspicion to the Protector. De Witt was personally favorable to this exclusion of William III from his ancestral dignities, but there is no truth in the suggestion that he prompted the action of Cromwell in this matter.

Occasionally, Casanova was on a secret mission, for example to Calais, in Holland, and for the Venetian authorities. De Ruyter, Michiel Dutch admiral (1607-1676), first to organize a professional navy, and generally regarded as one of the greatest geniuses of naval warfare. Until then, naval engagements had been a despised type of war, fought by desperados in upgraded trading vessels; after De Ruyter, it was an honorable profession. He was active in three wars against the English, but on as many occasions, he fought together with them against the Berber pirates in the western Mediterranean. He was killed in action near Syracuse by the French. De Witt, Johan

A. van Sypesteyn The translation from Dutch is as follows : Are there still descendants of *Raadspensionaris Johann de Witt? Are the two de Witts in Paris (both married to a daughter of French minister Guizot) descendants of the great Dutch statesman or better descendants of the regent family from Dordrecht? DE WITT (Dordrecht) Already in the 13th and 14th century we can find members of this family on the list of burgomasters and other regents of Dordrecht. They called themselves "die Witte" or "de Witte" or de Witt" and the spelling changes several times until most of them accepted "de Witt" as a final version. Most of them, because even during the life of Raadspensionaris* (see note at bottom) de Witt, two of his cousins were calling themselves Johan de Wit and Gijsbert de With. The family always remained in Dordrecht, and was always respected a lot and supplied a lot of government personnel. One of them was born on 7th February 1519, Jacob de Witt.
