Transcription
Breyne thanks Sloane for his letter and the books. He did not receive ‘ye forth Part of Mr Catesby’s Natural History’. Breyne is glad to hear that Sloane was pleased with his treatise. He requests that Sloane send him any duplicates in his ‘vast Collection of Naturall things’. Johann Philipp Breyne (1680-1764) was a German botanist, zoologist, and entomologist known primarily for his work on the Polish cochineal, or Porphyrophora polonica, used in red dye production. He became a fellow of the German Academy of Sciences Leopoldina in 1715 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johann_Philipp_Breyne).
