Olof Swartz (1760-1818) was secretary of the Swedish Academy of Sciences and a botanist. As such, he travelled frequently to collect plants, both in Sweden and abroad. His longest journey was to North America and the West Indies, where he travelled for several years. Swartz' many published works mainly concern botany, but he also contributed to "Vetenskapsakademiens handlingar" with some zoological texts. The present work was published by Johan Emanuel Wikström, and contains biographical notes by himself, Kurt Sprengel and Carl Adolph Agardh. A bibliography of Swartz' published works can be found on pp. LXII-LXXIV.
