		Maurice's four offensive campaigns had practically cleared the soil of the federated Provinces from the presence of the Spanish garrisons ; and the authority of the States General was now established within the defensible limits of a well-rounded and compact territory.

		Maurice was at length provoked to declare himself openly the champion of the Contra-Remonstrants.

		The Stadtholder Maurice of Nassau esteemed him so highly that he studied under his direction mathematics, science, and engineering, rewarding him for his services by making him director of finances, inspector of dykes of the Low Countries, and quartermaster-general of the Government.
		From some pages of this volume the inference has been drawn that when entering the service of Maurice of Nassau Stevin apostatized from the Catholic Church, but this opinion is hardly tenable and has now been abandoned.
		In 1594 appeared the "Appendice Algebraïque", an eight-page pamphlet, the rarest of his works (there is a copy at the Catholic University of Louvain) and one of the most remarkable; in it he gave for the first time his famous solution for equations of the third degree by means of successive approximations.
