Grew discusses his recently published book on ‘Purging Waters’ and has enclosed a copy for Sloane. He complains that counterfeit copies were being printed by Francis Moult and laments the fact that ‘corrupt’ salts are being peddled by pseudo-chemists. Grew was a botanist and physician who, in 1677, was appointed joint secretary of the Royal Society along with Robert Hooke (Michael Hunter, Grew, Nehemiah (bap. 1641, d. 1712), Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, May 2009 [http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/11521, accessed 11 May 2011].
