life was twice endangered, but at length he reached the place of his
destination, “having been four weeks without tasting bread.” After resting
some days at Quickjock, Linnæus descended the river again to Lulea, where
he “learned the art of assaying from the mine-master, Swanberg, at Calix, in
two days and a night,” and thence his journey was continued through
Tornea. He had intended to visit the mountains, but before he could get
thither the winter set in, and he was obliged to return along the coast on the
eastern side of the Bothnian Gulf. The last entry in his journal is dated
October 10th, and is as follows: “About one o’clock, . ., I arrived safe at
Upsala. To the Maker and Preserver of all things be praise, honour, and
glory for ever!”
At first, indeed, he seemed to reap but a humble reward for his toils. On
his arrival at home, he presented to the Academy of Sciences an account of
his expedition, which obtained their approbation, and they gave him 112
silver dollars (not more than £10)—his travelling expenses. In the following
spring, he began a private course of lectures on the art of assaying (which
he had learned so cleverly from his chance companion during the Lapland
journey). This art had never been taught at Upsala before; and the novelty
of the subject, the skilful manner in which he communicated instructions,
and the reasonable terms he exacted, secured Linnæus a considerable
number of pupils.
