520 "Several years before Denmark legislated against the
Atlantic slave trade in 1792, the government, anticipating
the decline of production in the Danish West Indies as a
consequence, embarked on a policy of agricultural
colonization in West Africa. Peter Thonning, a young
natural historian of the highly economic and geographical
Linnaean school, spent three formative years in Africa and
then for decades administered Denmark's African colonial
undertakings. The international movement of colonial news
and ideas can very usefully be traced in his unpublished
writings, especially among the Guinea Commission's
extraordinarily wide-ranging records. These rich archives
and contemporary published opinion in this cosmopolitan
Scandinavian society open fresh perspectives on the
broader history and geography of European colonialism"--
