Musgrave thanks Sloane and the Royal Society for honouring him. He encloses a curious account of an experiment undertaken by a local surgeon, involving ‘a person lying six days under snow’. William Musgrave, Senior was a physician, antiquary, and Fellow of the Royal Society. He acted as second secretary to the Royal Society and edited several volumes of the Philosophical Transactions (Alick Cameron, Musgrave, William (16551721), Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004; online edn, Jan 2008 [http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/19668, accessed 8 July 2013]).
