Transcription

Anisson discusses a publication released in a new edition, Malebranche’s scholarship, and Tournefort’s voyage. He asks Sloane to accompany him on a visit to Sir Isaac Newton’s house, for ‘il ne parle […] notre langue’ and needs an interpreter to communicate. Jean Anisson (1642-1721) was the director of the Imprimerie royale du Louvre between 1691 and 1705 (http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean_Anisson).
