‎First edition of Nemeitz’s influential guide to how one should conduct oneself and make best use of one’s time and money in Paris: ""To travel pleasantly, one must spend generously. This is the means to be respected by everyone, to have entry everywhere, and to benefit greatly from the journey."" (Translated from the preface). It contain much interesting information on 17th and 18th century Parisian customs. Nemeitz obtained a position as a tutor in 1707 with the Swedish General Magnus Stenbock. In 1708 he accompanied the sons of the count to Lund University, where he temporarily lectured on statecraft and history. He participated in the Swedish-Danish War from 1712 onwards under Stenbock as a royal field secretary. In 1713, Stenbock sent him with his sons towards Western Europe, with their first major stop being in Utrecht, where they met several diplomats involved in the Peace of Utrecht. They also spent some time in Paris where they were introduced to Louis XIV on multiple occasions. Their journey also took them to England. After failing to secure further employment in the North, Nemeitz became a tutor for the Waldeck family, accompanying a young Count Waldeck to Strasbourg, Paris, and other European courts.A French translation was published in 1727.‎
