Transcription
Lhwyd thanks Sloane for sending a copy of his ‘History of Jamaica’. He discusses his work on ancient Scottish, ‘the best remains of the old Celtic and Spanish.’ He asks Sloane to help him find subscribers. Edward Lhwyd (1659/60-1709) was a naturalist and philologist. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1708. Sir Hans Sloane described him as the best naturalist in Europe (Brynley F.
