Fragmented portrait of a learned, leisure loving ruler
The text praises a prince for intellect and travel, noting his extensive reading and multilingual abilities, alongside a Catholic tolerance. It contrasts his modern leisure with past hunting and riding, and mentions admiration from General Munich and Fenelon. It shifts to Mines of Schemnitz, detailing ore, labor practices, and long historical note on profits and governance.
