Overview

Excerpt from The Geological Magazine, or Monthly Journal of Geology, 1882, Vol. 9: With Which Is Incorporated the Geologist, Nos. 211 to 222; Decade II Among these pioneers we now and again see one whose ardent enthusiasm, restless activity, clearness of intellect, and dominant force of mind make him a giant among his fellows. Such a one was Linnarsson. In breadth of scientific attainments, in ability for con tinned and intense labour, and in the magnitude of the results he achieved, Linnarsson stood head and shoulders above all his con temporaries. To one who had accomplished so much. It seemed to the lookers-ou that everything was possible. It was felt that all obstacles vanished at his touch. The difficult became easy, the obscure became clear, and the complex became simplicity itself. And all this was performed with such rapidity, and with such quiet ease, that few knew at What a dreadful cost of wear and tear of body and mind it was accomplished. When at last the worn-out frame gave way, and the glowing flame of intellect went out suddenly in darkness and death, the consternation and sorrow were hearty and universal.
