Uylenbroek's dissertation "Specimen geographico-historicum, exhibens dissertationem de Ibn Haukalo geographo, nec non descriptionem Iracae Persicae, cum ex eo scriptore, tum ex aliis mss. arabicis L.B. petitam" is available online: http://books.google.com/books?id=Pqk_AAAAcAAJ&pg=PT331#v=onepage&q&f=true
Noteworthy is Nicolaas Beets' description of Uylenbroek's observation of Halley's comet using Rienks' telescope, October 16 1835: http://www.dbnl.org/tekst/beet005pete01_01/beet005pete01_01_0274.php Astronomer Kaiser didn't think much of Rienks' telescope and used a borrowed telescope instead, and Beets' description comfirms that opinion, see http://dispuutkaiser.nl/?page_id=9
