ET. 28.] JOURNAL. 239 
18th June. — On Sunday I attended service in the 
Protestant church, a large and fine building, which 
was well filled. A part of the royal family are Pro- 
testants, but the king himself is a bigoted Catholic. 
The interior of the church is made to resemble a 
Catholic chapel as much as possible ; the altar has a 
picture behind it, and a small crucifix stood upon the

Tuesday evening. — This morning I ae to the 
cabinet of botany, to the library, and after dinner to 
Martius ; looked over his Carices, ete. We then walked

where I bought a very pretty little achromatic glass

tions, ete. . .. 
It is so long since I have seen your handwriting 
that I might forget it, but I met with it to-day very 
unexpectedly, you would never guess where! Even 
on labels of Carices in Martius’ herbarium. After I 
get to Switzerland I shall count days until I see Eng- 
land again, from which there are but two steps home, 
on board a ship, and off again.

In the afternoon I called on Dr. Schultes, who of- 
fered me a pretty little parcel of Egyptian plants. 
Made up my parcels and left them with Martius, to be 
sent, with the things that he and Zuccarini are to add,
