Transcription
De la Pryme is glad his ideas regarding the origins of subterranean trees were well-received at the Royal Society. He lists new books he has come across and will send some fir trees, which he has classified. He returned the Philosophical Transactions, which were sent by ‘Smith or Churchil’, because they were old editions. He was charged ‘3s’ for each. De la Pryme was an antiquary, who established extensive correspondence with other antiquaries such as Nathaniel Johnston, Thomas Gale, Ralph Thoresby, and Sloane. In 1702, on Sloanes proposal, he was elected a fellow of the Royal Society (C. E. A.
