Life

The son of pastor Johannes van Assen (born August 20, 1741 in Beetgum; † November 15, 1820 in Harlingen) and Anna Klasina Jongstra were prepared for studies in secondary schools from childhood. After attending school in Harlingen, he studied law and literature at the University of Franeker from 1805. After he had received his first lessons in ancient literature and history from Everwinus Wassenbergh (1742-1826) and Jan Willem de Crane (1758-1842) and natural law from Johan Hendrik Swildens (1745-1809), the legal scholar Hendrik Willem Tydeman became his most formative teacher. Under this he defended on October 13, 1809 the legal treatise Disputatio jur. lit. de M. Tullii Ciceronis oratione per Aulo Cluentio Avito .

On October 17, 1809, he moved to the University of Leiden , where he met Willem Bilderdijk in 1810 . In Leiden he also attended the lectures by Dionysius Godefridus van der Keessel , Nicolaas Smallenburg , Eduard Hageman and Joan Melchior Kemper . In Franeker he received his doctorate on September 14, 1810 with the work Quaestiones Juridicae inaugurales to the doctor of law. He then became a lawyer in The Hague and gained more and more recognition over time, which brought him the award of a knight from the Order of the Dutch Lion . In 1814 he was hired as secretary to Prince Frederick , whom he taught and accompanied on his educational trips. After the prince had completed his studies at the University of Leiden in 1814, he traveled with the latter to Paris in 1815.

In April 1820 he became a second class councilor. On May 28, 1821 he was appointed professor of law at the University of Leiden, whereupon he took up his post on September 29, 1821 with the speech de studio Juris Romani, hoc ipso tempore diligenter tuendo and lectured on Roman and current law. In Leiden he also took part in the organizational tasks of the university and was rector of the Alma Mater in 1830/31 . He put this task down with the speech Oratio de immoderata libertatis cupiditate Europae calamitatum effectrice (Leiden 1831). He then became an extraordinary councilor again and finally an ordinary councilor and advisor to Prince Frederik. Van Assen became the commander of the Order of the Oak Crown and a member of many domestic and foreign learned societies. His membership of the Royal Netherlands Institute of Sciences, which he resigned on February 22, 1824, and of the Literature Department of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Sciences in Amsterdam on February 23, 1855, should be mentioned here.

Van Assen met on June 20, 1821 in Rijswijk with Anna Maria van Royen (born June 16, 1800 in The Hague, † March 19, 1870 in Brussels), daughter of the Councilor of State Hendrik (Henricus) van Royen (born January 1, 1760 in Noordwijk aan Zee; † July 16, 1844 in The Hague) and Anna Maria Lonyssen [also: Louyssen; * October 1770 (1791); † June 30, 1818 Ypenburg under Rijswijk, married.
