HAS'SEI.QUIST (Frederic), a Swedifli botanid and 
traveller, born in the province of Ead Gothland in 1722, 
and dudied medicine and botany in the univeffity of Up- 
fal. Linnaeus, in his leCtures, had reprefented the ex¬ 
traordinary celebrity which a young dudent might ob¬ 
tain by travelling through Palcdine, and inquiring into 
and defcribing the natural hidory-of that country, which 
was till then unknown, and had become of the greated 
importance to interpret the bible, and to underhand 
eadern philology. Haffelquift, fired with ambition to 
accomplidi an objeCt fo important in itfelf, and fo warm¬ 
ly recommended by his illudrious preceptor, was the. 
fird to offer his fervices in fo important an undertaking. 
There being no fund arifing from the liberality of the 
crown, private collections were made for the young tra¬ 
veller ; and all the faculties of the univerfity of Upfal 
granted him a dipend. Thus aided, he commenced his 
journey in the dimmer of 1749. By the interference of 
Lagerdroem, he had a free paffage to Smyrna in one of 
the Swedifli Ead-Indiamen. He arrived there at the 
conclufion of the year, and was received in the mod 
friendly manner by Mr. Rydel, the Swedifli conful. In 
the beginning of 1750 he fetout for Egypt, and remain-- 
ed nine months at Cairo. Hence he fent to Linnaeus, 
and to the learned focieties of his country, many fpeci- 
mens of his refearches. They were^publiflied, and met 
with the greated approbation ; and upon the propolitjon 
of dean Baeck and Dr. Wargentin, fccretary of the 
Royal Academy of Sciences at Upfal, a collection of 
upwards of ten thoufand dollars was made for the con¬ 
tinuance of the travels and refearches of Haffelquid,. 
Coitnfellors Lagerdroem and Nordencrantz were the 
mod aCtive in railing fubfcriptions at Stockholm and 
Gothenburg. In the fpring of 1751, he proceeded on 
his dedination, and palled through Jaffa to Jerufalem, 
Jericho, &c. He returned afterwards through Rhodes, 
and Sc 10 to Smyrna. Thus he fulfilled all the expecta¬ 
tions of his country ; blit he was not dedined to reap 
the reward of his toils. The burning heat of the arid 
deferts of Arabia had affected his lungs ; he reached 
Smyrna in a date of indifpofition, in which he languilh- 
ed for fome time, and died February 9, 1752, when only 
in the thirtieth year of his age. 
The fruits of his travels were, however, preferved 
through the liberality of a great princefs. He had been 
obliged to contract debts. The Turks, therefore, feiz- 
ed upon all his collections, and threatened to expofe 
them to public fale. The Swedifli conful prevented it. 
He fent, with the intelligence of the unhappy exit, off 
his countryman, an account of the didrelfes under which 
he died; and at the reprefentation of Dean Baeck, Louifa 
Ulrica, queen of Sweden, granted.the fum of 14,000 dol¬ 
lars to redeem his collections. They arrived afterwards 
in good prefervation at Stockholm, together with his 
manulcripts, which were put into the hands of Linnaeus 
to methodife, and were publifhed by him, in the Swe¬ 
difli language, 1111757, in 1 vol. 8vo. They have fince 
been tranflated into feveral languages, and were ptih- 
liflied in Englilh in 1766, under the title of Voyages and 
Travels in the Levant. The plants defcribed are not nu¬ 
merous, but rare. The zoological remarks are-interefting , 
to the elucidation of natural hiftory, and many faCts in 
the work are explanatory of divers pafl’ages in Scripture,
