150 Tribute to the Memory of Linnaus, 



and in the field, 



Post obitum UpsaVue die 10 Jiinii 1778, 

 Rege jubente. 



' In the year 1798, a monument was erected to the 

 memory of this great man, by his grateful pupils. In 

 a future number of this Journal, we hope to exhibit 

 an accurate engraving of it. Meanwhile, the follow- 

 ing notice, communicated by a very ingenious and 

 much-regretted pupil, will not be unacceptable. 



MONUMENT 



OF 



LINNiEUS. 



" In the cathedral of Upsala, there is a new monu- 

 ment erected to the memory of Linnaeus. It is, 

 in everj' respect, worthy of the man ; simple, majes- 

 tic, durable. It consists, first, of three stone-steps : 

 on these is erected, against the wall, a finely-polished 

 porphyry, about ten feet high. The monument at 

 the top is in bronze, a full size medallion of Linnaeus, 

 finely executed by the celebrated Sergei, over which 

 is a bronze oaken crown. Under the bust, is this in- 

 scription in bronze letters, gilt :
