Transcription
Jurin received a copy Deidier’s tract on tumours from Woolhouse. He forwards it to Sloane, who is to comment on it. Deidier hopes for a recommendation from Sloane. James Jurin was a physician and natural philosopher, elected fellow of the Royal Society in 1717. He served the latter as secretary from 1721 to 1727 and edited several volumes of the Philosophical Transactions. He was a stalwart support of Newtonianism and collected meteorological data from contacts across the world (Andrea Rusnock, Jurin, James (bap. 1684, d. 1750), Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004; online edn, Jan 2008 [http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/15173, accessed 23 July 2013]).
