Beets

Beets, Nicolas, was born at Harlem in 1814, and though a student of theology and ultimately a pastor, won early distinction as a Dutch poet of the Byronic school. His poems appeared at intervals from 1834 to 1862. In history and criticism he achieved some distinction, and his theological attainments were so great that he was in 1874 appointed professor of that subject at Utrecht.
