About the author
Born in Groningen on August 26, 1823, Bernardus Dominicus Hubertus Tellegen became a lawyer and later a respected academic. He is remembered chiefly as a Dutch jurist, and archival records describe him as a professor in Groningen whose teaching covered constitutional law, international law, political economy, and statistics.
Tellegen also left a substantial paper trail through articles, pamphlets, and books, showing that he was active not only in teaching but in public debate and scholarship. His work reflects the broad interests expected of a nineteenth-century legal thinker, reaching from law into questions of government and public administration.
He died in Groningen on February 10, 1885. Although he is less widely known today than some later members of the Tellegen family, the surviving records present him as an important figure in Dutch legal and intellectual life of his time.
