376 THROUGH THE FIELDS WITH LINNAEUS 



In 1788 Sir J. E. Smith drew up the plan of the 

 Linnaean Society, which obtained a royal charter in 

 1802. At Sir J. Smith's death Linnseus's treasures 

 were offered to the Society and bought for 3,000 guineas. 

 They are now in the Society's rooms in Burlington 

 House, London. ' The herbarium is practically in the 

 same state in which Linne himself last used it.' *
