114 The Floral King.
“In the year 1732, Carl Linnzus’ first treatise
appeared, (Florula Lapponica) of a man, who pro-
duced the greatest change in the universal herbarium,
and who at his death possessed it almost in its
entirety. By nature endowed with an ardent mind,
quick imagination and systematic genius, he made
use of abundant opportunities, especially in the latter
part of his life, when on all sides from everybody,
treasures of nature flowed in to him; he laid him-
self out in the new herberian plan with all the
strength of his mind, which he possessed in a great
degree, while he was living and witness toit. His
things were pleasing to and received by many of his
contemporaries, nor can it be denied that the different
parts of plants are defined by him with much more
accuracy than was formerly usual, and it must be
acknowledged that he expressed nature much better,
of which descriptions are now given, even as if an
almost new language had been made for this
yEiien
subject.”
