Transcription
Northleigh asks Sloane to procure the best microscopes he can find. He discusses lenses and assures Sloane he will pay for everything. Northleigh is looking forward to Malpighi’s new work. He writes of a new German book on man midwifery, which is ‘approvd I believe by Their Universitys’. John Northleigh (1656/7-1705) was a physician and pamphleteer. He trained as a lawyer before studying medicine and setting up a practice in Exeter. Northleigh published several works on contemporary politics (Andrew M. Coleby, ‘Northleigh, John (1656/7–1705)’, Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004 [http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/20331, accessed 9 July 2014]).
