Transcription
Massey informs Sloane that Mr Dixon to deliver the stone. He hopes that allowing Mr Petiver to insert it into his ‘Gazo phylacium’ will win him respect, as he wants to be admitted as a Fellow of the Royal Society. Massey will pay the guinea to subscribe to Petiver’s work. Richard Middleton Massey (1678-1743) attended Brasenose College, Oxford but left before obtaining a degree. In 1706 he was admitted Extra-Licentiate of the Royal College of Physicians and settled in Wisbech where he practiced medicine. Massey was elected Fellow of the Royal Society in 1712. He compiled the catalogue of the library of the Royal College of Physicians in 1727 (http://munksroll.rcplondon.ac.uk/Biography/Details/2969).
