Ludewig Ferdinand Rømer (1714-76) stammede fra Nordtyskland og skabte sig en indbringende karriere ved den lille danske handelsstation på Guldkysten (i det nuværende Ghana). Rømer skriver ganske ligefremt og oplysende om, hvad der foregår på den første station i den atlantiske trekanthandel. Bogen er forsynet med et langt forord af biskop Erik Pontoppidan (1698-1764), hvori det hævdes, at handel med og slavegørelse af afrikanere ikke er uforeneligt med kristendommen. Rømers bog er en helt afgørende kilde til Thorkild Hansens Slavernes Kyst.

Soldin, København 1816-1828. Pæne, samtidige halvlæderbind. Bind 28 har en lidt gabende bageste yderfals, og der er en plet, der dækker nogle få rygge, men sættet fremstår generelt flot og solidt. * Nicolet: Om Leksika, s. 67. Det tidligste danske konversationsleksikon er en løbende oversættelse af det tyske Brockhaus-leksikons 3., 4. og 5. udgave. Alverdens aspekter af livet i starten af 1800-tallet er dækket i det næsten 15.000 sider store leksikon. Det ses meget sjældent udbudt, især når det som her er helt komplet med alle 20 bind + de 8 supplementsbind, der udkom over 12 år. Desværre er der ingen provenienshistorie, men antallet af mulige subskribenter i Danmark til et så omfattende værk må i årene efter statsbankerotten i 1813 have været særdeles begrænset.

His oldest son Johann Casimir II Kolb von Wartenberg must have benifited from the education, as he rose in the ranks: In 1695 he became Freiherr (Baron), in 1699 Graf (Count) and in 1701 he became the first ever Minister-President (Prime Minister) of Prussia and head of the 'Cabinet of three Counts'.** French translation made by Jean Francois de Pompièrre de Jonquères [1709-1781]. Apparently no French translation has ever been published, so de Jonquieres has merely meant it as education for his own son Paulin Philippe Henri de Dompierre de Jonquières [1744-1822], who later became council for the Prince of Orange. The family later moved to Denmark.
