Transcription
Shaw writes to Sloane to inform him of his plan to visit at the end of next week and will bring his proposals for future travel. Thomas Shaw (1694-1751) was a traveller of North Africa and the Near East. He was elected a fellow of the Royal Society in 1734. Shaw was Chaplain to the English Factory at Algiers. He later served as Chaplain of St. Edmund Hall and Regius Professor of Greek at Oxford. His book ‘Travels, or, Observations Relating to Several Parts of Barbary and the Levant’ was published in 1738 (Peta Rée, ‘Shaw, Thomas (1694–1751)’, Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004 [http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/25269, accessed 28 Aug 2014]).
