Carl Linnaeus (1707 88), father of modern taxonomy, was one of the
most important scientists of the eighteenth century. This biography
was written by Richard Pulteney (1730 1801), a physician and
botanist who greatly admired Linnaeus' methods and aimed to promote
them in England. The first edition was published in 1781 and
contains a thorough account of the major works of Linnaeus and his
unpublished papers. As well as details of his academic career, the
work also gives insights into Linnaeus' character and personal
life. The second edition, reissued here, was edited by William
George Maton (1774 1835), a physician and member of the Linnean
Society, and published in 1805. It contains in addition a memoir of
Pulteney and a translation of a Swedish life of Linnaeus based on
his own notes. The book is a rich source of information on a
central figure in the history of botany.
