04 The Floral King.
venerable friend Professor Olof Celsius, senior, at
Upsala, writes, ‘‘My Geneva Plantarum have at
last, this week, been struck off at the printers.
Dr. Dillenius got half of it when it was printed,
as he desired. When he saw how I had treated
his Geneva, that gentleman became as angry with
me as before he had been affable. When I came
to Oxford he would scarcely ask me to come in with
him; at last he exploded with slight innuendoes
and contemptuous looks. I was for three days with
him in the town, and was scarcely allowed to see
a plant. I paid the carriage in his presence, by
which the following day I was to depart, as he
meant miy wohl. I could then no longer bear it;
began resuming old arguments, when we proceeded
to examine flores, and allow the autopsy to judge
between us; then at last we agreed. I was then
forced to leave my travelling companion, and, nolens
volens, remain. Ever afterwards we were scarcely
parted from one another two hours all the time I
remained in Oxford, and when at last I departed he
let me go with tears. He presented me with his
Hortus Elthamensts.
