Transcription
Northleigh asks about the status of some papers he submitted to the Royal Society for publication. He is having difficulties getting a straight answer from the Society as to their whereabouts. He requests the papers be sent to Lion’s Inn so that he can retrieve them if they are not to be printed. John Northleigh (1656/7-1705) was a physician and pamphleteer. He trained as a lawyer before studying medicine and setting up a practice in Exeter. Northleigh published several works on contemporary politics (Andrew M. Coleby, ‘Northleigh, John (1656/7–1705)’, Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004 [http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/20331, accessed 9 July 2014]).
