Transcription
Müller is grateful for Sloane’s favours and the honour of being elected a Fellow of the Royal Society. He will deliver the books to Ruysch and Seba. The former is 93 years of age. The latter is grateful for Sloane’s recognition. Müller received several letters from St Petersburg written by one Tatishchev, ‘Conseiller du College des mines’. Gerhard Friedrich Müller (1705-1783) was a German historian and ethnologist. In 1725 he was invited to St Petersburg to establish the Imperial Academy of Sciences. From 1733 to 1743 he travelled across Siberia with other scientists collecting ethnographic information. Müller was elected fellow of the Royal Society in 1730 and a foreign member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences in 1761 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerhard_Friedrich_Müller).
