Excerpt from Biographical Memoirs of the Most Celebrated Physicians, Surgeons Etc., Etc., Who Have Contributed to the Advancement of Medical Science German, Latin, Italian, French, and English languages. Botany retained all its interest in his advanced years; and he made frequent excursions into the neighbouring mountains, by which he perfected his work on the plants indigenous to Switzerland. Ile was appointed perpetual President of the Academy of Gottingen; and he was earnestly solicited to accept of the Chancellorship of the Uni versity, vacant by the death of M. De Mosheim. The sovereign council of Berne, in order to retain him among them, and to continue to derive improvement from his exertions, settled upon him a pension for life; and the office of Chancellor, though made by his Britannic Majesty, was declined. He refused also the Chancellorship of the University of Halle, offered to him by the King of Prussia, and also a lucrative appointment at Petersburgh. Foreign countries appear to have been alike anxious to gain his services, and to bestow upon him various honours. Gustavus III., King of Sweden, made him a Knight of the Polar Star. He was one of the eight foreigners elected into the Academy of Sciences of Paris, and he was chosen a Fellow of the Royal Society of London. A great number of other institutions enrolled him in the list of their associates. His fame was universal: no person of rank or scientific eminence visited Switzerland without paying their respects to Haller; and on one occasion he received Joseph IL, Emperor of Germany.
