240 FIRST JOURNEY IN EUROPE. [1839, 
to Hamburg, against my arrival there. Spent the even- 
ing at Martius’ house, and took my leave of madame 
and Caroline. I gave Madame M. my copy of “ Childe 
Harold,” a very pretty one, which she seemed to value 
considerably. Martius I saw again the next morning 
at the cabinet, and took leave very affectionately ; he 
kissing me tenderly, after the German fashion. Ask 
Dr. Torrey to look in the list and see if Martius is not 
an honorary member of the Lyceum, as I believe, but 
am not sure. If he is he knows it not. The Lyceum 
has also been remiss in sending him the ‘“ Annals,” 
which should not be, as he has been a liberal con- 
tributor. His works give him much trouble since the 
death of the late king, who was his patron and sub- 
scribed toward the expense; the present king does 
nothing at all for Martius or for science anyway, so 
that poor Martius is a little embarrassed. Meanwhile 
he is pressed down with his duties as professor, direc- 
tor of the Botanic Garden, ete., for which he is most 
miserably paid. 
The Botanic Garden is better arranged than any 
other I have seen on the Continent, except at Paris, 
and I have secured a copy of the plan. But I must 
break off with Munich. — Arrived at Lindau, on Lake 
of Constance, yesterday; a fine lake, but too large to 
show well; the shores only at the eastern end moun- 
tainous; the rest ordinary, and in high cultivation, 
dotted with thriving iri ; took a steamboat after 
dinner for Constance. . . 
On THE Rigi, 25th June. 
I must resume the thread of my narrative where I 
left it, at my entrance to Zurich. I did nothing that 
evening but look about the town, visit the old church
