Dutch transl. of D. Fassman's weekly magazine "Gespräche in dem Reiche derer Todten" (Leipzig, 1718-1739), one of the longest published Dutch magazines in the 18th c. Issue 133-138, from July to December 1732. Comparable to Lucian's "Dialogues of the Dead", though informative instead of satirical, these issues deal with the political history and biographies told by Slippenbach, Van Derfflinger, Rudolf I, Maximilian I, Anna of Austria, Jean d'Orléans and the Duke of Villeroy.
