Biography:
Kaas was probably a silver smith. He is characterized as "een man die, "bijna in geen eene wetenschap onbedreven, en van de zonderlingste arbeidzaamheid, onderzoeklust en naauwkeurigheid, dikwijls Geleerden van professie beschaamde, en zijne
ongemeene kundigheden versierde met eene voorbeeldige, opgeruimde en vrolijke Godzaligheid."

Biography:
Completed his study of law and philosopy in 1748. He became a lawyer at 'Hof van Gelderland' in Arnhem. In 1758 he was appointed as professor of law in Groningen. There his liberal views on religion and his preference for natural law (at the expense of roman law) were the causes for a controversial dispute. When Van der Marck published 'Lectiones Academicae, quibus selecta philosophiae practicae jurisque naturae capita et praecipue officia erga Deum pertractantur (Groningen 1771) and 'Lectionum Academicarum tomus secundus, quo praecipua juris ecclesiastici protestantium universalis capita pertractantur'(Groningen 1772) the matter became even more serious. On February the 2th 1773, he was dismissed from his office. He settled in Lingen where he assumed the position of professor of law. From there he maintained contacts with several Patriots, including Joan Derk van der Capellen tot den Pol.

Biography:
Hendrik Ludolph Wichers studied law in his birthcity, under the tutors Dionysius van de Wijnpersse, Dionysius Godefridus van der Keessel and F.A. van der Marck. After obtaining his PhD degree in 1770, he established himself as a lawyer in Groningen. In addition he did research in legal history. In 1777 Wichers published 'Ex hominum communis secundum mentem Hugonis Grotii proposita et explicata', based on the principles of Hugo Grotius and dedicated to stadholder Willem V. In the meantime he held several governmental offices. In 1786 Wichers was elected as 'Eerste gecommitteerde tot regeling, verbetering of herstelling der quotes of aandelen der onderscheidene provinciën in de generaliteit-uitgaven'. In 1795 he and many other Orangists were dismissed from office. It was not until 1802 that Wichers returned to his political career. In the following years he was appointed as a member of the 'Raad van State' and Director-General of indirect taxes, convoys and licenses. In 1820 he returned to Groningen and became curator of the university.
