Transcription
Lhwyd has been ordered to pay Sloane his respects by the Vice-Chancellor Roger Mander. He thanks Sloane for offering his duplicate books. The Vice-Chancellor is sending Jones to look over Sloane’s collection. The college plans to place all of Sloane’s books in a personalized cabinet at the library. Edward Lhwyd (1659/60-1709) was a naturalist and philologist. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1708. Sir Hans Sloane described him as the best naturalist in Europe (Brynley F.
