Linnzus had put up in the neighbouring trees
some glass bells which chimed melodiously when
the wind moved the branches of the trees.
At the foot of a neighbouring hill was ‘“ Linné’s
Grove,” and on the hill his ‘‘Museum,” built in
1769, now surrounded by a tall fir and pine forest,
but the hill was then denuded of trees and afforded
an extensive view over the fertile plains, out upon
which he loved to look.

Herbariums, the greatest in the world, his Zoophyle
Conchylia, insects and minerals, which were all
visited by the curious, many of whom came from
distant lands.
