Strömer's commemorative address
Strömer's commemorative address
Every member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences was to have a commemorative address delivered at a meeting of the Academy after his death. Normally, as in the case of Klingenstierna, it was a close friend that delivered the speech. The address was then published in print by the Academy. To facilitate the composition of these speeches, each member was asked to write his autobiography. We do not know whether Klingenstierna had written one.
