He established the system based on observations of items, not on reading. This fundamental work was published in Danish in 1836, but immediately translated into German by professor Christian Paulsen to have Thomsen's pioneering thesis known by an international audience. Besides establishing a system for archeology, Christian Jürgensen Thomsen became the founder of the Danish National Museum.

Johann Jacob Bornheinrich, København 1699. Lille folio. (40)+412+(200) sider. Med træskårne vignetter og en kobberstukket titelvignet (i Thomas Kingos afsnit). Uden det store foldede kobberstukne portræt af Niels Juel, der følger eksemplarerne på skrivepapir. Senere helbind af sort gedeskind. Siderne temmelig plettede indtil s. 323. Side 235-238 meget plettede og med rifter. Bageste del af bogen med skjold nederst på siderne. * Udgave på almindeligt papir af den i enhver henseende enorme ligprædiken fra bisættelsen af generaladmiralløjtnant Niels Juel, der døde i sit palæ på Kongens Nytorv (i dag den franske ambassade) i 1697. Peter Jespersen (1647-1714) var kongelig konfessionarius, Christian den Femtes personlige præst. Ligprædikenen består, som formatet foreskriver, af en lang tale over forskellige bibelcitater, fortællingen om Niels Juels sidste dage og, hvad gør denne genre så væsentlig, en lang personalhistorisk redegørelse om Niels Juels adelige afstamning, hans liv og bedrifter. Bogen er med andre ord den første biografi over den største af alle danske søhelte. Traditionen tro er Peter Jespersens arbejder suppleret med en lang række æredigte af andre. Bogen rummer således en meget lang række førstetryk af Thomas Kingo, der stod Niels Juel nær, ikke mindst som biskop over Fyns stift, der jo også omfattede Tåsinge og Valdemars Slot, Niels Juels gods og landlige residens. Kingos bidrag omfatter blandt andet hele den suite af biografiske digte, der efterfølgende huggedes i marmor på Juels store gravmæle i Holmens Kirkes kapel, herunder det centrale digt, som alle med en ældre dansk studentereksamen har mødt: Staa Vandringsmand, og skue en Søe-Helt an i Steen .. . ** Tingene hænger sammen i Danmarkshistorien. Ved tronskiftet i 1699 fortsatte Peter Jespersen som hofpræst for Frederik den Fjerde. Og det var Jespersen, der i 1704 eller 1705 præsenterede kongen for Peter Wessel fra Trondhjem. Wessel var stukket hjemmefra og fået logi hos Jespersen, der var han fars ungdomsven. Jespersen første utvivlsomt pennen, da den unge norske hedspore efterfølgende søgte monarken om optagelse som søkadet, Resten er som bekendt dansk-norsk søkrigshistorie af den allerbedste slags. Fuldstændig ligesom Niels Juels.
