Many of the doctrines discussed in the course of 

 his lectures were converted by his pupils into subjects 

 of academical dissertations. These were published by 

 hinij under the name of Amsenitates Academicse^-l 

 a collection which comprises many admirable essays 

 in natural history, medicine, domestic and rural 

 economy. The first volume appeared in 1749, the 

 seventh and last in 1769. An edition in ten vo- 

 lumes, containing also the later essays of Linnaeus 

 himself, w^as published by Schreber in 1785-91. 

 Selections from the Amaenitates have also been 

 printed in English and German. 



It has been judged necessary to give at least the 

 titles of the numerous works of Linnaeus, because 

 the list may be useful to those desirous of examining 

 them generally, or of referring to a particular trea- 

 tise. The influence which they exercised upon the 

 advancement of science, and especially upon that of 

 botany and zoology, we shall have occasion to notice 

 in the second volume of the present w^ork.
