In Groen the doctrines of See also:Guizot and See also:Stahl found an eloquent exponent. They permeate his controversial and See also:political writings and See also:historical studies, of which his Handbook of Dutch See also:History (in Dutch) and See also:Maurice et Barnevelt (in See also:French, 1875, a See also:criticism of See also:Motley's See also:Life of Van Olden-Barnevelt) are the See also:principal.

Although he lived to see these principles See also:triumph, he never ceased to oppose them until his See also:death, which occurred at the Hague on the 19th of May 1876.

At the first reception, in 1858, of Motley at the royal See also:palace at the Hague, the king presented him with a copy of Groen's Archives as a token of appreciation and admiration of the work done by the " worthy vindicator of William I., See also:prince of Orange." This copy, bearing the king's autograph inscription, afterwards came into the See also:possession of See also:Sir William See also:Vernon See also:Harcourt, Motley's son-in-See also:law.
