Transcription
Silvestre has not been able to find the books Sloane asked him to look for, but hopes to locate them in Brussels. He mentions the founding of the Academie des sciences and explains why Lister was not named a foreign member. He also mentions a surgery recently observed and sends greetings on behalf of several people to a variety of others. Peter Silvestre (d. 1718) was a Fellow of the Royal Society and co-editor of Saint-Evremond’s works (Elizabeth Grist, ‘Rainbow Coffee House group (act. 1702–1730)’, Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press.
