Transcription
Ray discusses the botanical notes Sloane sent him and how they will inform his current work. He asks Sloane to review his ‘Paper concerning respiration’ before it is published. Ray was a theologian and naturalist who collected and catalogued his botanical findings in the much lauded Historia plantarum (1686, 1688) (Scott Mandelbrote, Ray , John (16271705), Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004; online edn, Oct 2005 [http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/23203, accessed 18 June 2013]).
