Title history:
Hiarne and Bromell's mineral system "was afterwards adopted by Dr. Linnaeus, who, as a very skilful person in the other two kingdoms of nature, ought not to have omitted the third when he published his Systema Naturae. Browal, bishop of Abo, a prelate of great learning, had an opportunity of altering and improving Linneus's method in a manuscript, which Dr. Wallerius has since made public in his Mineralogy, with some alterations of his own". Author's preface, p. viii-ix.
