Like all other great men, who have distin- 
gnished Ihemaelveg above the regt of mankind, 
Linnaeos has had his enemies, although few have 
had more friends. It is not wonderful that the 
innovations he made , ghonld alarm thoge whö 
thonght themselveg his snperiors in the gcience, 
which he taught, and who had long been dealing 
ont the opiriions of others, withont daring to 
think for themselveg. His opponents of this kind, 
as well as those who on making use of their 
jndgment disaproved of his pnblications , are 
now, with their works, for the most pari gone 
off the Stage. The futility of their objectiong 
has been repeatedly shewn by many of Linnaeus’s 
pnpilg and admirers, he bimself scarce ever deign- 
ing to notice them, and trusting for his jnstifica- 
tion to time alone. Its decision has been mögt 
completely in his favour. He lived to enjoy the 
highest hononrs and rewards that his country 
conld bestow , und to see his System, by becom- 
ing universal, contribule more to the advance- 
ment of bis darling study than the united labourg 
Of all mankind before him.
