Richard Payne Knight (1750–1824), well known numismatist and connoiseur of art, member of the Dilettanti Society, the Eumelean Club, Vice President of the Society of Antiquaries etc, and good friend of William Hamilton and Charles Townley, is perhaps most known today for not appreciating the Elgin marbles and his arguing against the national acquisition of them. Notable among his own works are ”An Account of the Remains of the Worship of Priapus” (1786) and ”An Analytical Inquiry into the Principles of Taste” (1808). Bengt Lassen (1908-74) var hovrättsråd och åren 1953-73 VD för Norstedts förlag. Han var en duktig latinist och hade en fin samling romerska författare. Han figurerar i bakgrunden i Maria Langs deckare ”Mördarens bok”.
