tunate as to put an end to this stupendous project. A dreadful 

 fire having broken out in Upsal in 1702, among its ravages re- 

 duced to ashes the printing-office, when only a few copies of the 

 work had been removed. These are, of course, extremely 



1686. Rudbeck, Olaus,filius, the son and successor 

 of the professor of the same name, was born at Up- 

 sal in 1660. He took his doctor's degree at Utrecht, 

 and in 1720 joined Berzelius in founding the Swedish 

 Academy of Sciences, the memoirs of which learned 

 body contain a number of his dissertations on sub- 

 jects of natural history. He also published some 

 works on the plants and animals mentioned in Scrip- 

 ture. He died in 1740.

1739. Linnteus, or Von Linne, Charles, was the 

 son of a clergyman at Rashult, in Sweden, and bom 

 there May 13. 1707. He was educated at Lund, 

 from whence he removed to Upsal, where he was 

 appointed to read lectures on botany, in 1730 ; and 

 the year following he received a commission from 

 the Academy of Sciences, to travel in Lapland and 

 Norway. In this journey he paid attention to the 

 art of assaying metals, on which he afterwards de- 

 livered a course of lectures. In 1735 he went to 

 Harderwyck, in Holland, where he took his doc- 

 tor's degree, and while in that country he became, 

 through the introduction of Boerhaave, superin- 

 tendant of Mr. Clifford's garden, at Hartecamp, of 

 which he drew up a catalogue. While in this si- 

 tuation he published also his Flora Lapponica; 

 after which he visited England. On his return to 

 Holland, he continued his Genera Plantarum, 

 and was chosen a member of the Imperial Academy. 

 In 1737 he printed the Hortus Cliffortianus, in 

 fol. ; and his Critica Botanica. He returned to 

 Sweden in 1738, and was chosen a member of the 

 academy at Upsal ; and soon afterwards he laid the 

 foundation of that at Stockholm. In 1740 he was 

 chosen professor of medicine at the former place, 

 where he undertook the reform of the botanical 

 garden, to which he gave many valuable exotics. 

 In 1745 he published his Flora Suecica; which 

 was followed by the Fauna Suecica. At this 

 time his merits were so well appreciated, that a 

 medal was struck to his honor, and he was ap- 

 pointed archiator to the king. In 1749 appeared 

 his Materia Medica; and in 1751 he published 

 the 1 Philosophic Botanica. His most splendid 

 publication came out in 1754, with this title, 

 Musteum Regis Adolphi Frederici, comprising a 

 description of the natural curiosities in the royal 

 museum. While conducting this work through 

 the press, Linnaeus was honored with the order 

 of the Polar Star ; and in 1756 he was ennobled. 

 In the mean time he prepared for publication his 

 Species Plantarum, which was followed by the 

 Sy sterna Natura. This illustrious naturalist 

 d'ied at Upsal, Jan. 10. 1778, and his remains were 

 interred with great solemnity, in the cathedral of 

 that city, where his pupils erected a monument to 

 his memory. His son, Charles Linnaeus, born in 

 1741, became demonstrator in the botanic garden, 

 and published some valuable works. He was ill- 

 used by his mother, which is supposed to have has- 

 tened his death, in 1783. His sister, Elizabeth 

 Christina, discovered a luminous property in the 

 flowers of the nasturtium.

 into English by Forster, in 1771.
