Transcription
Gregory updates Sloane on the status of some books the latter had sent to Scotland, reproducing a letter sent to establish their whereabouts. He hopes they are returned to Sloane soon. Gregory was a mathematician and astronomer who published the first astronomy textbook to integrate Newton’s gravitational theory (Anita Guerrini, Gregory, David (16591708), Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004; online edn, Jan 2008 [http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/11456, accessed 24 June 2013]).
