Transcription
Ray received ‘the Tribes you were pleased to send me’ and a book. He discusses a recent episode where Dr Woodward berated Sloane in front of the Royal Society. Ray tells Sloane not to take it too seriously, as Woodward is a ‘rude & insolent fellow’. Ray was a theologian and naturalist who collected and catalogued his botanical findings in the much lauded Historia plantarum (1686, 1688) (Scott Mandelbrote, Ray , John (16271705), Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004; online edn, Oct 2005 [http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/23203, accessed 18 June 2013]).
