Connor plans on visiting the Royal Society soon. Bernard Connor (c. 1666-1698) was a physician and writer with an interest in Poland. His magnum opus was The History of Poland (1698). Connor was a friend of Hans Sloane (Gerald Stone, Connor , Bernard (c.16661698), Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004; online edn, Jan 2008 [http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/6086, accessed 19 June 2013]).
