Transcription
Thoresby sends fossils from Lancashire. He asks about Philosophical Transactions 245, regarding the Eruption of Waters in Craven. He and Mr Pollard do not believe the story. Thoresby lately received some Roman inscriptions. Thoresby was an antiquary and topographer. He expanded his fathers Musaeum Thoresbyanum impressively, and his collection brought him into discussion with many important political and scholarly figures (P. E. Kell, Thoresby, Ralph (16581725), Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004; online edn, Oct 2006 [http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/27334, accessed 27 June 2013]).
