Transcription
Bignon apologizes for not writing sooner. He has been very busy managing the ‘Bibliotheque du Roy’. He thanks Sloane for continuing to send books on the arts and sciences. Bignon is not sure whether Sloane received the latest Memoires de l’Academie. He discusses treatises on lithotomy and anatomy. He is looking forward to reading the second volume of Sloane’s Natural History of Jamaica. Jean-Paul Bignon (1662-1743) was a clergyman, librarian to Louis XIV, member of the Academie francaise, and mentor of Joseph Pitton de Tournefort (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean-Paul_Bignon).
