ranged and named according to Bauhin’s Pinaz, in 
twelve large volumes folio. But two volumes were 
scarcely printed, when in 1702 a dreadful fire re- 
duced almost all Upsal to ashes, and with it the 
work of Rudbeck, and many thousand wooden 
blocks, already cut, besides almost all the materials 
of a history of Lapland composed by his son.” 
All that remains of this work are a few copies of 
the second volume, and three only of the first, one 
of which is in the Sherardian library at Oxford. 
Linnzus was possessed of about 120 of the wooden 
blocks of this first volume, as well as eight or ten 
unpublished blocks belonging to some intended 
one, all which with. his collections came into Sir 
James’s hands. 
The republication of this fragment of Rudbeck’s 
great work was atribute of respect to his profound 
and varied learning. 
It is dedicated to Johannes Gustavus Acrel, Pro- 
fessor of Medicine at Upsal. 
5. Plantarum Icones hactenus Inedite, preci- 
pue ex Herbario Linneano.—The first fasciculus,

three numbers. The first was dedicated to Sir Jo- 
seph Banks, Bart. The second to M. P. Auguste 
Broussonet, M.D. The third to the Marquis Ippo- 
lito Durazzo. 
6. Icones Picte Plantarum Rariorum; or Co- 
loured Figures of Rare Plants.—(This also reached 
but to three numbers,)—1790. It was dedicated to 
the Marchioness of Rockingham, which produced 
the following obliging letter from that lady.
