JOHN WESLEY'S CONTACTEN MET NEDERLAND1 door DR. J. VAN DEN BERG Amstelveen In de loop van de achttiende eeuw hebben verschillende min of meer vooraanstaande Engelsen en Schotten een bezoek aan Neder- land gebracht. Niet allen hadden een even hoge dunk van het leven in "de lage landen". Een Schots jurist, George Dempster, schreef op 23 augustus 1763 aan zijn vriend James Boswell, die toen juist als student in Utrecht was gearriveerd: " ... pray remember I f ore- told that your fund of patience and affectation was too small to bear living among a set of Dutch professors in tartan nightgowns... who consider mirth as a shame and rampaging as a sin ... Consider Holland as the dark watery passage which leads to an enchanted and a brilliant grotto. For such is a French academy ... "2. Boswell was zelf trouwens met laaggestemde verwachtingen naar Nederland getogen: " ... to comply with my father's inclinations I had agreed to pass my first winter at Utrecht, a Dutch university town of which I had received the most disagreeable prepossessions"3. Een geheel andere kijk op het leven in Nederland treffen wij aan in een brief, ruim twintig jaar later
