- 1830, “Tafereel van de schouwburgen te Londen”, in Vaderlandsche letteroefeningen, page 330:
- De poëzij, deze wettige koningin van de tooneelkunst, heeft er thans slechts den tweeden rang; men doet er heerschen het schilderwerk, de beweging der schermen, zonder te denken, dat deze soort van begoocheling hier nooit eene volkomene uitwerking zal hebben, terwijl de diorama's en panorama's altijd de gelukkigste pogingen van den werktuigkunstenaar en tooneelschilder overtreffen.
