WINTER, Nicolaas Simon van. Monzongo, of de koninglyke slaaf. Treurspel. Amsterdam, Pieter Meijer, 1774.Sm.8vo. Modern marbled boards. With engraving on title-page by Reinier Vinkeles. (4),86 pp. The play, Monzongo, the royal slave, a tragedy, was written in 1765 by the Amsterdam merchant and poet Nicolaas Simon van Winter (1718-1795). In the introduction he writes that he was touched by the slave revolt that broke out in the plantation colony of Berbice in 1763 and the cruel punishments that had been carried out after its crushing. This was the first reaction on the revolt in Berbice. His tragedy, however, did not take place in a Dutch plantation colony, but in Spanish America about the conquest of Mexico in 1519. Van Winter realized that the banishment of slavery would take some time, but hoped that his poetic work would help to bring it to an end.
