abandoned upon Prince Adolf Fredrik becoming 
Chancellor, but a modified form of “ service ” on the 
part of new members still obtained. The seniors 
were admonished to train the novices in good ways, 
such as to remain at home at night, etc. The total 
number of members inscribed during Linne’s In¬ 
spectorship was 308, many of them becoming 
distinguished in after life, such as C. P. Thunberg, 
D. Rolander, P. J. Bergius, C. M. Blom, S. A. Hedin, 
the eminent Latinist Hakan Sjogren, Jonas Aspelin, 
J. Hagsdorn the Orientalist, J. D. Roberg, and 
many more. 
As testimony to the affectionate regard in which 
the Inspector was held may be mentioned the 
“ honoraria ” which was given him. The first sum, 
which had been intended for Anders Celsius before 
he died, was handed to the new Inspector in 1744. 
Such gifts took place every three years, and in 1778, 
after the death of Linne, it was awarded to his widow. 
A special visit was paid to Hammarby to inaugurate 
the stone edifice which Archiater Linne had built in 
a fortnight on a small eminence for his cabinet of 
natural history. (See p. 328.) 
During the last two years of Linne’s life, his 
health had so failed as to make it impossible to hold 
a meeting, even in his absence, yet the good feeling 
which he had implanted continued, and the respect 
and gratitude to their fatherly friend never failed, nor 
has it since, the Nation recording with pride his 
services as member and Inspector.
