1753. Gesner, John, a canon of Zurich, and pro- 

 fessor of mathematics and natural philosophy in that 

 university, was born in 1709. He studied at Leyden 

 and Basle, where he contracted an intimacy with 

 Haller ; and their epistles have been printed. He 

 died in 1790. Gesner published two dissertations on 

 plants, inl741, in which he announced the new system 

 of Linnaeus, of whom he says, that he was a man des- 

 tined to reform all natural history. Besides these 

 he was the author of eleven dissertations, published 

 under the title of Phytographia Sacra. He also 

 wrote on extraneous fossils ; and compiled an index 

 toW'einmana's Phytographia. But he was grossly 

 imposed on, as well as Haller, by the present of a 

 meadow crowfoot, on the branches of which the 

 flowers of the daisy had been so neatly fastened as to 

 escape detection till after Gesner's death. Of this 

 rarity he published a description, in a learned dis- 

 course on vegetable monsters, entitled, De Ra- 

 nunculo Bellidifloro. The cheat was discovered by 

 Sir Joseph Banks, who procured the specimen, and 

 separated the parts by the application of steam.
