His initial reaction first appeared in the periodical "De Militaire Spectator" but after Von Schmid has published his "Wachtforten voor de Stelling van Amsterdam" ('s-Gravenhage, 1897). In this ongoing discussion it is interesting to consider also Von Schmid's "Het afwerken der Amsterdamsche stelling" (Haarlem 1903) which includes illustrations of his designs. ~ Not in Jordan. 005-7 .
