Transcription

Hudson recommends the bearer, a physician from Leipzig. The Philosophical Transactions Sloane sent to the library contain an error ‘viz page 1877, 1878’. John Hudson (1662-1719) was elected librarian of the Bodleian Library in 1701. He corresponded with numerous scholars and librarians, both in England and abroad (Theodor Harmsen, Hudson, John (16621719), Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004; online edn, Jan 2013 [http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/14034, accessed 27 June 2013]).
