 Despite such unpromisingly reactionary trappings the Schimmelpenninck regime actually accomplished more in its short existence than the previous regimes had accomplished in the ten years since 1795 . This was , of course , mainly due to the diligent preparatory work that Agents like the ubiquitous Gogel ; Johannes Goldberg , for National Economy ; and Johannes van der Palm , for National Education ; had done . Gogel 's General Taxation Plan was finally enacted in June 1805 ; a first government @-@ approved attempt at unification of the Dutch spelling was made ; an embryonic Department of Agriculture and Department of Hydraulics were formed , to foreshadow the later government departments ; even a Pharmacopeia Batavia started the regulation of drugs ; and the School Law of 1806 organized a national system of public elementary education . Most importantly perhaps , the local @-@ government law of July 1805 founded the first Dutch system of public administration .
