Although he had a few regular collaborators, most pieces were written by Van Effen himself. He comments on the Dutch spirit, frugality, zeal for cleanliness, excessive eating and drinking habits, and provincialism. His style is rationalizing, sober. Van Effen’s famous novella Kobus and Agnietje first appeared in the magazine in 1733. The Hollandsche Spectator was initially a weekly, but from its 21st issue in 1732 it appeared biweekly.
