Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
Linnaeus' mature theodicy, his attempt to reconcile the suffering
and evil of the world with the omnipotence and goodness of God, is
presented in a condensed form in the final editions of his Systema
Naturae (1758/68). In this comprehensive compendium of our
knowledge of the three great realms of organic nature, he outlines
the significance of the sub-conscious, social awareness and
theological orientation in the spiritual life of man, and indicates
how fate, fortune, and Providence interrelate within his conception
of the Deity. In the Nemesis Divina this general undertaking is
developed into an experimental theology', which is exactly
analogous to Linnaeus' work in the natural sciences, in that it
involves the collecting and classifying of concrete and carefully
described case-studies. He never prepared the manuscript for
publication, however, and for many years it was regarded as lost,
and it is only very recently that any attempt has been made to
publish it in its entirety. This is the first English translation
of all the relevant manuscript material. It is also the first
attempt to analyse the case-studies in the light of what we know of
Linnaeus' general taxonomic principles, and to relate each of them
to its historical context.
