Transcription
Ray discusses Paul Hermann’s work at length. He asked Sloane to review his thoughts and let him know if they are of any use. Ray reminds Sloane that he has not given his opinion of Dr Colbatch’s work. Ray was a theologian and naturalist who collected and catalogued his botanical findings in the much lauded Historia plantarum (1686, 1688) (Scott Mandelbrote, Ray , John (16271705), Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004; online edn, Oct 2005 [http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/23203, accessed 18 June 2013]).
