Memorials of Linnteus 



4 FLORA LAPPONICA. Published at Amsterdam, 1737. 

 Linnaeus's first Flora, based on his collections in Lapland in 

 1732 and written while staying with George Clifford at 

 Hartecamp. Sir James Smith in his account of Linnaeus (in 

 Rees's Cyclopaedia) describes it as " one of the happiest literary 

 compositions of its author . . . redundant in observation and 

 reflection on every subject which could be interwoven with 

 its professed object, conveyed in the most engaging style." 



5 FAUNA SUECICA. Published at Leyden, 1746. A 

 systematic account of the animals of Sweden. From Linnaeus's 

 own library with notes in his hand. 



Soon after the publication of this work Linnaeus received 

 the title of Archiater from the King of Sweden. 



6 ORBIS ERUDITI JUDICIUM DE CAROL: LINN^I. Pub- 

 lished at Stockholm, 1741. A defence of himself in reply to 

 an attack by J. G. Wallerius entitled Decades binae Theslum 

 Medicarum (Upsala, 1741) (also exhibited). Includes a list of 

 the important events of his life and of his works, and testimonials 

 from eminent men of science. 



7 THE DISSERTATION (on the cause of intermittent fevers) 

 submitted by Linnaeus for his degree of M.D. which he 

 obtained at the University of Harderwyck in Holland, 

 June 23, 1735. Intermittent fevers are supposed to be owing 

 to fine particles of clay, taken with the food, and lodged in 

 the terminations of the arterial system, where they cause the 

 symptoms of the disorder. 



8 COPY OF THE RARE TRACT by Linnaeus on Indigenous 

 Plants capable of being utilized for Food. Published at 

 Stockholm, 1757. This is probably the only copy in England. 

 It is a continuation of a better known Thesis on the same 

 subject published in 1752, and was written in consequence of 

 a failure of crops. Linnaeus indicates certain native plants 

 which could be used for making bread and generally for food.
