142 GENERAL REMARKS
however, be an act of injuftice, if I claimed the merit of the laft
mentioned additions as entirely my own; and I therefore acknow-
ledge with grateful pleafure the obligations I owe to feveral lite-
rary gentlemen for their liberal affiftance. Dr. Quenzel, of Stock-
holm, furnifhed me with the lift in the branch of zoology ; by the
kindnefs of Mr. Paycul, of Stockholm, and Profeffor Thunberg,
of Upfala, in granting me free accefs to their valuable collections,
I was enabled to form a catalogue, and to take drawings of many
curious objects. Here I cannot omit mentioning the name of my
friend Lieutenant Guftavus Brandel, who, being a proficient in
the art of drawing, rendered himfelf very ufeful to me by his aid
and good advice. For the lift of the indigenous plants of Lap-
land, I am indebted to the goodnefs of Profeflor Swartz, a name
too well known to need any commendation from my pen; and
for that of the minerals my thanks are due to Mr. Hyelm, in-
{pector of the mufeum of minerals, and mafter of the mint, at
Stockholm, a gentleman not lefs diftinguifhed by his accurate
knowledge, than by the fimplicity and politenefs of his manners,
and his readinefs to affift the inquifitive in the purfuit of {cience.
