Kapteyn‘s influence resultedfrom and contributed to the golden age of Dutch science. In the wordsof the brilliant English astrophysicist, Arthur S. Eddington: `Hollandhas given many scientific leaders to the world: it is doubtful whetherany other nation in proportion to its size can show so fine a record.J.C. Kapteyn was among the most distinguished of its sons -- a trulygreat astronomer‘..The present text is an English translation of Kapteyn‘s 1928 (Dutch)biography by his daughter Henrietta Hertzsprung-Kapteyn. While theoriginal biography suffers from -- but in many ways is also enrichedby -- the emotional excesses of a loving daughter writing of herfamous father, this new translation provides an annotated assessmentof Kapteyn as family man, scientist and world leader. This new volumealso opens up to a much wider reading public many of the enormouslyrich contributions, not only of Kapteyn the man but also of the Dutch,to the emergence of astronomy as a major intellectual force in theworld.
