In addition to recently erected magnificent university buildings, with
splendid solemnity halls, lecture-halls, assembly-rooms for the consistory
and the faculties, etc., each university possesses several valuable collections
and institutions, each with their own buildings and officials. Thus, in
Uppsala may be especially noticed the University Library (Carolina rediviva)
with more than 330,000 volumes, besides pamphlets in 10,000 cases, and
12,500 manuscripts; the Botanical Gardens, laid out by the celebrated
Olof Rudbeck, and developed by Linné; the Astronomical Observatory
with a new tower and a large refracting telescope; the Academical
Hospital and the Central Asylum for lunatics with medical and psychiatric
clinics; the anatomical, physiological, pharmaceutical, physical, chemical,
meteorological, and zoological institutions, etc. In Lund may be noticed
in like manner, the University Library with 185,000 volumes, over 6,000
cases, and about 5,000 manuscripts; the Coin Cabinet, one of the oldest
existing collections in its way; the Zoological Museum, established by
Sven Nilsson; the Geological Museum, founded by Otto Torell; the
Astronomical Observatory; several other institutions for medicine and
natural sciences of great value, etc. In connection with the Caroline
Institute in Stockholm are the clinics at Sabbatsberg and other hospitals
