Transcription
Witsen thanks Sloane for the book, which he has read and enjoyed. Nicholaes Corneliszoon Witsen (1641-1717) was a politician and collector. He was appointed for thirteen terms as Burgomaster of Amsterdam. He corresponded widely with Leibniz, several Jesuits, and the Royal Society, of which he was elected a fellow in 1689 (Benjamin Schmidt, ‘Witsen, Nicholaes Corneliszoon (1641–1717)’, Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004 [http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/68404, accessed 17 July 2014]).
