LINNAEUS 
(e) Two short notes about his appearance, mode of life, 
properties, etc., written by Linne. 
(/) A leaf in folio; no title, but with biographic notes 
down to 1753; ends with the characteristic words “ God 
has graciously shown me more of His handiwork than any 
other person; I cannot say that I am free from faults, but 
I was never a parricide/’ 
It need hardly be said that all these Linnean manuscripts 
have been diligently made use of in the present work. 
APPENDIX II 
GENEALOGIES 
The tables here printed have been compiled from others 
previously published, but are now corrected; they are 
supported by statements by Nils Linnaeus from the 
archives of the parish of Stenbrohult, by Samuel Linnaeus, 
from the same; at a later period, from the Vaxjo library, 
church entries, and official documents. Among the various 
members named more fully than in the tables, it may suffice 
to extract this notice concerning Carl Linnaeus’s only 
brother Samuel. He was born in 1718, became student at 
Lund in 1738, visited his brother in Uppsala in 1743, 
ordained priest 1744, the following year was made 
Philosophiae Magister at Lund, and succeeded his father 
as Rector of Stenbrohult in 1749, where he died in 1790. 
He was celebrated for his skilful and successful manage¬ 
ment of bees, of which he published a complete account, 
printed at Vaxjo in 1768, wherefore he was generally called 
the “ bee-king ” or “ bee-priest.”
