Transcription
Lavater asks for assistance with ‘the Will in which my Dear Wife was mentioned’. The booksellers have almost finished printing a number of books and would like to add Sloane’s ‘Comontanum Practicum’ to make a set. He will send the catalogue for the Chevalier Marchand’s library soon. Jean Rodolphe Lavater was a Swiss physician and naturalist educated in Zurich. He travelled to England in 1704-05 and became a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1708 (‘Jean Rodolphe Lavater’, Library Collection, royalsociety.org).
