•which were collected in his Opufcula Botanica, or contain, 
ed in the Memoirs of.the Gottingen Academy, and in 
other periodical works. 
After the death of Boerhaave in 1738, Haller under¬ 
took to pjnblifli the Preledlions of his venerable mailer, 
front a manufcript copy of his own, collated with others. 
Of this work, fix volumes appeared fucceflively from 
1739 to 1745, with occafional additions by the editor. 
In 1747 he gave the fil'd edition of his Prints Linets Phy- 
Jiologite, being an outline of his own fyflem of that branch 
of lcience, as afterwards developed in his larger work. It 
was leveral times reprinted, and tranllated into foreign 
languages. In 1751 Haller publilhed a collection of 
Opufcula Anatomica, 8vo. In the fame year was printed 
his edition of Boerhaave’s Methodus Sludii Medici, 2 vols. 
4to. Amd. of which by much the greated part is his 
own, and may be conftdered as a prelude to his later Bi- 
bliothects. In 1754, he printed at Laufanne a volume of 
Opufcula Patkologica, 8vo. In the next year he wrote in 
French, a treatife concerning fenfibility and irritability, 
entitled, Deux Memoires fur les Parties fenfibles irritables, 
i2ino. They were accompanied by Deux Memoir es fur le 
Mouvement du Sang, nmo. Both thefe were much read 
throughout Europe. It was, perhaps, particularly on 
account of thefe French publications;, that he was elect¬ 
ed in 1754 one of the eight foreign members of the Aca¬ 
demy ot Sciences at Paris. Soon after this his capital 
work, Elementa Phyjiologits Corporis Humani, began to make 
its appearance. Its full volume, quarto, was publilhed 
at Laufanne in 1757 ; and the concluding oPtavo volume 
in 1766. His other anatomical writings are principally 
comprifed'in his Opera Anatomica minora, 3 vols. 1762-68. 
But the moll profound literary labour of Haller, is his 
Bibliotheces, containing a chronological lilt of every book 
of every age, country, and language, refpefting fub- 
je6ts connected with medicine, which had come to his 
knowledge. Of thefe he publilhed, N x. Bibliotheca Bota¬ 
nica, 2 vols. 4to.‘i77i. 2. Bibliotheca Anatomica, 2 vols. 
4to. 1774. 3- Bibliotheca Chirurgica, 2 vols. 4to. 1774. 
4. Bibliotheca Medicines Prafticte, 4 vols 4to. 1776-88, of 
w hich lalt only two were publilhed by himfelf, the other 
two by Drs. Tribolet and Brandis, from his papers, 
with additions. Thefe form a molt invaluable body of 
bibliography, in their feveral clalfes. 
Between the years 1771 and 1774, Haller produced, 
in the German language, three political romances ; the 
firlt, entitled, Ufong, exhibited a perfedt defpotic mo. 
narch; the fecond, Alfred, a limited king in a conditii- 
tion refembling that of England ; the third, Fabius and 
Cato, a well-adminiltered ariltocracy, the form to which 
he was molt partial. Thefe works difplay profound views 
on the nature and objects of government, with ingenu¬ 
ity of contrivance, and a truly philanthropical lpirit. 
Amidft the valt variety of his literary purfuits, the 
ftudy of theology, natural and revealed, had always oc¬ 
cupied a confiderable place. He was warmly attached 
to the dodtrines both of Theifrn and of Chrittianity, and 
frequently appeared as the defender of both. Befides 
the prodigious mafs of his writings already enumerated, 
he maintained a very extenfive correfpondence with the 
learned of different countries. Of letters written to 
him, fix volumes in Latin, and three in German, have 
been publilhed; but his own have only cafually ap¬ 
peared. His molt confidential correfpondents were John 
Gefner of Zurich, and Bonnet of Geneva : the latter 
pollelfed feven manufcript volumes of his letters, writ¬ 
ten in French, upon almolt all kinds of topics.' Many 
additions might be made to the lilt of honours he re¬ 
ceived from fovereigns and learned bodies. He was elect¬ 
ed into the Royal Society of Stockholm in 1748 ; and 
into that of London in 1749 ; when he received the titles 
of phyfician to George II. and of king’s counfellor; and 
was ennobled by the emperor Francis in 1750. Nor 
was he lefs diltinguilhed as a philofopher than beloved 
as a man; and he was not more eminent for his improve.

HAL'LER (Gottlieb Emanuel), fon of the preced¬ 
ing, born at Nyon-in the canton of Berne, in 1735, and 
died at Berne in 1786, in the fifty-fird year of his age. 
He didinguifhed himfelf by an extenfive hiftory of his 
native country. On this laborious work he was em¬ 
ployed for thirty years, and when publilhed, he apolo- 
gifed with great modelty for not having been able to 
produce.any thing better. It appeared under the title 
of, Bibliothek der Schweitzer-Gefchichte, &c.— Library of the 
Hiftory of Swiflerland, and of every Thing relating to 
it, fyftematically arranged and in chronological Order, 
Berne, 1785-1787, 6 vols. large 8vo. A general index 
to the whole appeared in 1788. This work will prove 
a lading monument of the author’s adiduity as well as 
accuracy, and may be of great ufe to the future hido- 
rian. Haller was alfo author of a work on numifmatics 
entitled, Schweizerifckes Munz und Medaillin Cabinet —Cabi¬ 
net of Swils Coins and Medals, publilhed at Berne in 
1780 and 1781, in 2 parts, 8vo. with plates. He had a 
fiiare in the Encyclopedic of Yverdun, in the Diftionnaire 
de la Suijfe, and the Afta Helvetica. 
HALLE'RIA, f. [fo named by Linnaeus, from the 
famous Albert Haller, author of Stirpes Helveticts, &c. ] In 
botany, a genus of the clafs didynamia, order angiofper- 
mia, natural order of perfonatae, (fcrophulariae, JuJf.) 
The generic characters are—Calyx : perianthium one- 
leafed, trifid, flat, fpreading, very obtufe, permanent : 
the upper cleft twice as broad as the red. Corolla -. 
monopetalous, ringent: tube roundilh at the bale, bent 
in with a fwelling throat : border oblique, upright, 
four-cleft; the upper cleft a little longer than the 
others, blunt, emarginate ; the fide ones Ihorter, broad¬ 
er, lharper ; the lowed very Ihort, very flender, and 
very lharp. Stamina: filaments four, bridle-lhaped, 
firaight, inlerted into the tube, longer than the corolla; 
antherae roundidi, twin. Pidillum : germ inferior, 
ovate, ending in a dyle longer than the damens : fligma 
fimple. Pericarpium : berry roundidi, two-celled. 
Seeds : final], flat, roundilh, winged.— EJfential Char after. 
Calyx, trifid; corolla, quadrifid ; filaments longer than 
the corolla; berryjnferior, two-celled. 
Halleria lucida, or African fly-honeyfuckle : a Angle 
fpecies. This plant grows to the height of fix or eight 
feet, with a woody dem well furnilhed with branches. 
Leaves-ovate, ferrate, oppofite, and continuing green 
through the year;-the flowers come out fingly, and are 
of a red colour ; but, being intermixed with the leaves, 
and growing fcatteringly on the branches, are not eafily 
difeerned. They come out in June, and the feeds ripen 
in September. The leaves continuing green all the win¬ 
ter, this plant makes a good variety in the greenhoufe 
during that fealon. It is a native of the Cape of Good 
Hope ; flowers from June to Augud; and may be propa¬ 
gated by cuttings, which, if planted in pots filled with 
light earth in June, will foon take root. The plants may 
be expofed infummer, and will require plenty of water 
at that feafon : in winter they mud be houfed with 
myrtles, and other hardy exotic plants, which require 
much air in mild weather.
