Transcription

Serenius offers a set of books and meteorological observations from Sweden. He sends a sample of a Swedish-English dictionary he is working on. Serenius asks Sloane to accept a letter from Mr Triewald, who wants to become a Fellow of the Royal Society. Jacob Serenius (1700-1776) was the Bishop of Strengnäs in Sweden. He served as a Lutheran pastor to a congregation in London between 1728 to 1735 (http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacob_Serenius).
