Transcription
Bridges has bought two books from Mr Varenne. He paid less than he expected. Bridges asks Sloane to inform Mr Sherard of this to ‘prevent him buying ’em’. John Bridges (bap. 1666, d. 1724) was a county historian and solicitor. He worked in government and was known to possess a fine collection of books (A. E. Brown, ‘Bridges, John (bap. 1666, d. 1724)’, Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004; online edn, May 2013 [http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/3395, accessed 28 July 2014]).
