Abstract
THE scope of this volume may best be given by a summary of the introduction. The author says that though much has been written about Linnaeus, yet he is but imperfectly known, which is probably due to the fact that the various accounts and addresses only supply a very superficial picture of the man. His sexual system and binomial nomenclature are the warp and woof of his work, and many who are content to regard Linnaeus as a great man are ready to ask if these two achievements are anything but of the common. With the exception of a few volumes of systematic descriptions, Linnæus's books are no longer read, for who in these days of rapid work can find sufficient time to read his Latin octavos?
