Transcription
Morley asks if he can borrow a copy of Virgil. Christopher Morley (b.1645/6) studied medicine at Leiden University from 1676-1679 obtaining an MD. During this time he attended the anatomical lectures of Drelincourt and studied chemistry with Maets. In 1679 Morley published a small work on an epidemic fever prevalent in England and the Netherlands, which he dedicated to the Royal College of Physicians. He was elected honorary Fellow of the College the following year. Morley travelled to the Indies in 1683 and settled in London to practice medicine in 1684. (J. F. Payne, “Morley, Christopher Love (b. 1645/6)”, rev. Patrick Wallis, Oxford Dictionary of National Biography).
