Transcription
Geoffroy describes four types of sand he collected in Italy in detail. He thanks Sloane for sending the seeds and recounts the properties of a plant which can be combined with the purgative ‘Senna’. Bonnet Bourdelot is awaiting a catalogue of books. Etienne Francois Geoffroy (1672-1731) was an apothecary and physician who studied at Montpellier, like Sloane, and worked at the Jardin du Roi and College Royal (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Etienne_Francois_Geoffroy).
