THE LINDEN-TREE OF LINNHULT 13 



R&shult. At the time of the great botanist's birth Nils 

 Linnaeus was cornminister, which, on the Swedish Church 

 establishment, is a clergyman somewhat similarly cir- 

 cumstanced to one who in England serves a chapel of 

 ease. 1 The ' Swedish Biographical Dictionary' mentions 

 many other ancestral connections and collateral branches, 

 including a cousinship with the British Admiral Kem- 

 penfelt, who was drowned in the ' Royal George,' 1782, in 

 the course of five pages of genealogical tables, comprising 

 a number of respectable people, nearly all of them clergy- 

 men or medical doctors. 2 There is also a genealogical table 

 in the appendix to Pulteney's biography, going further 

 arid more minutely into the pedigree, including various in- 

 teresting particulars, such as this concerning Ingemar of 

 Waras, in the parish of Hangeryd, who was blind many 

 years, and spontaneously recovered his sight in advanced 

 age. But this is enough for the indulgent reader.
