In 1585 the town had an estimated 7,000\u20138,000 inhabitants\u2014hardly more than in 1500\u2014but by 1600 the number had risen to 12,000, and by 1625 to around 18,000. This expansion was partly due to immigration from the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Southern_Netherlands\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Southern Netherlands<\/a> and from rural migrants seeking new livelihoods in the city.<\/p>\n<p>This plan, originally made for Johannes Janssonius\u2019s townbook of 1657, shows The Hague with its canal system now completed. The <em>Veerkaden<\/em> were the last to be dug: the canal of the <em>Amsterdamse Veerkade<\/em>, between Spui and Wagenstraat, was created in 1630; the <em>Stille Veerkade<\/em>, its extension, only later that same year. Only then had the urban development advanced far enough eastward. Expansion to the west, however, was very slow\u2014the projected streets at the end of the <em>Prinsegracht<\/em> were scarcely realised, remaining open spaces that would not be built over until the nineteenth century.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Gregorio_Leti\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Gregorio Leti<\/a> (1630\u20131701) acquired Janssonius\u2019s copperplate and issued the map unchanged in his <em>Teatro Belgico, o vero Ritratti Historici, Chronologici, Politici e Geografici<\/em>, a history of the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Dutch_Republic\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dutch Republic<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Leti was a historian and satirist, born in Milan and later emigrated to England. He wrote a history of England for Charles II, but fled to Amsterdam in 1685 after offending his royal patron.
