from Stockholm to Uppsala, though on the other hand, 
he lost his position at the Admiralty, and his medical 
practice. The professorial salary was not available, 
as though his predecessor had resigned, he had 
retained the entire proceeds, which Linne would only 
have after Roberg’s death. Until this took place, he 
had only a ioo ducats or 600 dalers in copper [^15] 
from the Mining College. 
It was, however, not long before Roberg died, on 
the 21 st May, 1742. Thereupon Linne informed the 
Consistory that the Mining College had intimated that 
as soon as he was in receipt of the professorial salary, 
their contribution would cease. The accounts of the 
University show that at all events during part of 1743, 
the Professor’s salary was paid to Linne. This was 
made up of the first sum of 700 silver dalers, 
the value of the Prebendal farm of Torneby in 
Vaksala, reckoned at 53 dalers 20 ore, partly from the 
Royal bounty of 50, afterwards 100 barrels of grain, 
for which the Consistory each year fixed the money 
equivalent. Of this account the salary during various 
years differed considerably, the most being in 1773, 
2,903 [^217 ns. 6 d.], the lowest in 1751, 1,053 [^79]. 
The average for 1745-75 was 1,780 dalers \_£ 133 10s.], 
small additions being received from the minor offices 
he held, such as Inspector of Stipends, 33 dalers 
[£2 gs. 6d.], and as a member of the Inspection 
of Monies, now the Finance Board, 75 dalers 
[^*5 12 s. 6d.]. Finally a part of income was 
receivable in kind, being official sales from the 
hop-garden, and rent-free house. 
Additions to these lawfully determined amounts 
were receivable from examination fees in the medical 
faculty, also the fees as the promotor of the doctorate 
in medicine. Each one promoted was liable to pay 
down 600 dalers in copper [^15], and the surplus, 
after certain expenses were met, was the promoter’s, 
later on to be divided between the professors of that 
faculty.
