He was educated at Lund university, where he was See also:professor of See also:German (1850–1859), of See also:aesthetics (1859–1889) and See also:rector (1875–1885). He had been a member of the Swedish See also:Academy for twenty years at the See also:time of his See also:death in See also:September 1905. His most important See also:work, Svenska vilterhetens hafder efter Gustav See also:IIL's dad (5 vols., Lund., 1873–1895), is a comprehensive study of Swedish literature in the 19th See also:century. His other See also:works include: Framslallning of de f ornasnste esteliska systemerna (an exposition of the See also:principal See also:system of aesthetics; 2 vols., 1856–1860); Svenska dramat inlill slutet of 17 arhundradet (a See also:history of the Swedish See also:drama down to the end of the 17th century, Lund, 1864); an edition (1864) of the Epistlar of See also:Bell-man and Fredman, and a history of the Swedish Academy in the See also:year of its See also:centenary (1886).

These animals are of See also:great use and profit to their masters, for their See also:wool is very See also:good and See also:fine, particularly that of the See also:species called pacas, which have very See also:long fleeces; and the expense of their See also:food is trifling, as a handful of See also:maize suffices them, and they can go four or five days without See also:water. Their flesh is as good as that of the See also:fat See also:sheep of See also:Castile. There are now public See also:shambles for the See also:sale of their flesh in all parts of See also:Peru, which was not the See also:case when the Spaniards came first; for when one See also:Indian had killed a sheep his neighbours came and took what they wanted, and then another Indian killed a sheep in his turn." The disagreeable See also:habit of spitting is See also:common to all the See also:group. In a wide sense the See also:term " llama " is used to designate all the See also:South See also:American Camelidae.
