second marriage.

Urban Hiaerne was a native of Sweden. He was born in
1611, and was educated at Upsala,where he studied medicine. At
a very early age his talents attracted the notice of his countryman,
Count Tott,' who furnished him with the means of extending
his studies by visits to other countries. Hiaerne came to
London in 1669, and during his visit was elected a Fellow of
the Boyal Society. He then studied for two years in Paris,
and returned home. Having occupied himself with mineralogy,
Hiaerne was made Yice-President of the Council of Mines in
Sweden. He was also Chief Physician to the King and President
of the Council of Medicine. He died 22 March, 1724.
This medal, which was struck long before Hiaerne had reached
the zenith of his fame, refers to his natural talents, which were
bestowed on him by heaven, and to the encouragement which
his learning received from his benevolent patron Count Tott.

This small medal by George Bower is without date, but was
possibly struck about this time. The passage, to be correct
and complete, should be “ Nullum Numen babes, si sit pru-
dentia. \Vhen Prudence, as is implied, was the presiding
deity of James, it would be difficult to discover.
