He acquired a philosophy doctor's degree in Uppsala, became dean and was ordained a clergyman, and then undertook travel through Europe in 1849-50. He was known as a controversial person; very outspoken, no stranger to using strong language and despising hypocrisy, but he displayed a remarkable sense of wit and authority. At a dinner party he once exclaimed "Second to chastity, small schnapps glasses are the worst I know!" which became a somewhat familiar quotation in Sweden.
