Transcription
Bignon compliments Sloane and thanks him for his last letter. He and the Académie des sciences found the account of the experiment involving poison very curious. Bignon wants to collect more books from foreign lands for the ‘Bibliotheque du Roy’. Despite the setbacks in organizing the King’s library, he is making every effort to succeed and add what is missing from the collection. Bignon asks Sloane to help him by providing a list of contacts in England and abroad. 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).
