His first travel-book was published in 1806 in Haarlem: Lotgevallen op eene reize van Madras over Tranquebaar naar het eiland Ceilon. (...). The importance of Haafner's eyewitness accounts is that they were done during the decay of the VOC. Terpstra, in his analysis of Haafner's views on colonialism as expressed in his works, comes to the conclusion that Haafner was an anti-colonialist, a man before his time, for his ideas were not to be topical until more than a century had elapsed."

"This was no easy journey in those days. Ides, who was a Dane in the service of Peter the Great, set out from Moscow March 14, 1692. (...) He composed his journal for the information and satisfaction of Peter the Great who was well pleased with the results and rewarded the author with the post of Privy Councillor. (...) The expedition added considerable geographical knowledge to the little that was known about Northern Manchuria and China." (Cox). "Ides (...) spricht Henning (p.339) das Verdienst zu, "die erste Reisebericht über Siberien veröffentlicht zu haben, das sich frei halte von Unwahrscheinlichkeiten und Unverständlichkeiten, und nach denen man sich wirklich ein Bild des durchreisten Gebiets machen konnte"." (Henze). This account describes parts of Central Asia about which no earlier accounts exist. As a result of it, it became possible to fill in blank parts of the map. The interesting large map ("Nova tabula Imperii Russici") is based on the observations of Ides.

All bibliographies except for Reichelt giving 1728 as date of publication, thus following the printed privilege on the last page. But the second line of this privilege reads that the privilege was given to Pierre Garnier, who died in 1738, while Jean-Antoine Garnier was active between 1766 and 1777 (information from Corrard de Breban, Recherches sur l'établissement et l'exercice de l'imprimerie à Troyes, Paris, 1873, 4th ed., p.73-74). "Der Danse Macabre, den Guy Marchant 1485 in Paris druckte, wurde eines der volkstümlichsten Bücher Frankreichs und erfuhr durch Drucker in der Provinz immer wieder Neuauflagen mit irgendwelchen Veränderungen. In Troyes war es besonders, neben den le Rouge und Oudot, die Druckerfamilie Garnier, die Jahrhunderte hindurch das Privilegium für den Druck franzözischer Volksbücher besass, welche auf Jahrmärkten und durch Kolporteure unter das Volk gebracht wurden. In ihrem Besitz befanden sich bis in das XIX. Jahrhundert hinein hunderte von Originaldruckstöcken des 15. Jahrhunderts aus den Werkstätten Verards, Marchants, Treperels etc. In der vorliegenden Ausgabe sind alle möglichen Holzschnitten von früher oder später durcheinandergebracht, so dass es unmöglich ist, ihre Herkunft zu erforschen. (...) Auch die Garnier'schen Ausgaben gehören zu den grossen Seltenheiten, da bei dem schnellen Verbrauch der Volksbücher nur wenige Exemplare der Vernichtung entgingen." (Oppermann 1118). This is the copy that we sold in our rooms in auction 33 of 2000, which was printed from changed type compared to the known Troyes ed. of ±1770: i.a. one small woodcut on page 70 replaced by letterpress text, a completely different woodcut on page 26 and changed quire signatures.
