 he found also the greatest and finest colIeQ:ion of inserts which he had 

 ever seen. He Hkewise saw there, the herbarium of his unfortunate 

 countryman Forskal. He had now come to Copenhagen, the last city 

 -where he was to stay, in order to view and examine natural curiosities*. 

 This capital was as eager as other great cities to receive him in the 

 most friendly and most distinguished manner. He saw the Royal 

 Museum of productions of nature and art, the cabinet of natural 

 history of Count Moltke, Privy Counsellor Holmskioldj 

 Counsellor Frus Rottboell, Professor Brunich, Counsellor 

 MuLLER, and of Messrs. Spenglkr, Chemnitz, and Cappel. The 

 Danes honoured his knowledge and merits in the same manner as the 

 English and French had done. He had been chosen a Member of 

 the Royal Society at London, of the Academy of Sciences at Mont- 

 pellier, of the Medical Society at Paris, and also of the Royal So- 

 ciety at Copenhagen. 



In the month of January 1783, he left that city and went to Gothen- 

 burgh, whither his friendship and gratitude towards the beneficent pro- 

 moter of his studies, Baron Nicholas Alstroe me r, had impelled him 

 to go. Finally, after an absence of two years he returned again to Upsal 

 from his travels in the month of February, after having been through 

 the same countries which had formerly been visited by his father. 



• He was already at Copenhagen in the summer of 1771. He travelled for the recoveiy 

 •f his health which had been much impaired by the hypochondry, through the Southern 

 provinces of Snueden, crossed the Sound, and not having leave to go farther, remained two 

 days at Copenhagen, He owned afterwards to a friend, that he then felt a strong temptation 

 to range all over the world, had the love which he bore to his father not induced him to go 

 back.
