Transcription
Chamberlayne asks Sloane to forward the enclosed to Leeuwenhoek, along with ‘a Bit of the BP Sarum’s vitrify’d or Calcin’d Hay’, as promised in the letter. Chamberlayne will bring his latest translation of Leeuwenhoek on Wednesday. He thanks Sloane for acknowledging his efforts. He boasts that his translating skills are unparalleled. John Chamberlayne was a translator and editor specializing in modern languages which he studied at the University of Leiden. He translated works on many topics, was a fellow of the Royal Society, and published three works in the Philsophical Transactions (Reavley Gair, “Chamberlayne, John (1668/9-1723)”, Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004; online edn, Oct 2009 [http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/5060, accessed 30 May 2011]).
