Upsala [Uppsala], Kongl. Academiska Boktryckeriet, 1848. Tall folio (44.0 x 27.5 cm). Title page; 26 pp. Loose-leaved, as issued.

The title translates as "Carl von Linné's notes on Nemesis divina. Invitation letter to tomorrow's philosophical promotion from the Uppsala University Foundation on the seventy-seventh. By Acting Supervisor Elias Fries". Over 23 pages it contains Linnaeus's philosophies about the divine, and its influence upon his life. These writings were not published during Linnaeus’s lifetime, but given to his son and thought to be lost for over half a century, until the Swedish botanist Elias Magnus Fries (1794-1878) decided to put them into print. The last five pages contain a list of Magistrarnes Namn (Names of the Masters, i.e., alumni of Uppsala University) with ultra-short bibliographies, including subjects and dates of promotion of their theses. It was republished in 1878, but this is the original, first edition. Uncut, unmarked. A few small spots, edges with tiny creases and a few very short tears; a weak, horizontal fold, otherwise in excellent condition. Soulsby, 1060.
