Note 26 — Chapter II · Artificial Systems and Terminology of Organs from Cesalpino to Linnaeus. 1583-1760.
Henry E. F. (Henry Edward Fowler) Garnsey translation
In addition to the Autobiography of Linnaeus, various accounts of his life have been written, some of which are mentioned in Pritzel’s ‘Thesaurus Lit. Bot.’ A strange revelation of his character and sentiments is to be found in his treatise on the ‘Nemesis divina,’ which he bequeathed to his son. Of this work Professor Fries has unfortunately published an epitome only, which is noticed in the Regensburg Flora, No. 44 (1851). On Linnaeus’ services to zoology, see Carus, ‘Geschichte der Zoologie,’ München, 1872.
