This biography of Swedish botanist Carl Linnaeus (1707 78) was
originally published in 1903 by another Swedish botanist, Theodor
Magnus Fries (1832 1913). This English version, published in 1923,
was translated and edited by British botanist Benjamin Daydon
Jackson (1846 1927). Jackson is best known for founding (with J. D.
Hooker) the Index Kewensis, the register of all botanical names of
seed plants; he also acted as Secretary of the Linnean Society for
twenty-two years, becoming its General Secretary in 1902. This
biography covers the early life of Linnaeus (including some family
history), his student years at Uppsala, his travels, his years as a
teacher, notes on his personality and his relationship with the
wider scientific community. Jackson provides further information in
the appendices, enhancing Fries' work with Linnaeus' genealogy, a
list of his pupils, his private notes on 'Divine Punishment' and a
brief history of Sweden during Linnaeus' lifetime.
