Transcription
Preston sends Robert Sibbald’s ‘Memoria Balfouriana’ to Sloane. He informs Sloane that he intends to send him some curiosities and thanks him for sending the Philosophical Transactions. Preston was a physician and botanist who established a lengthy correspondence with Sloane, exchanging plants, seeds, books and information. His main interest was in botany, and was well-known by his contemporaries for his botanical knowledge (Anita Guerrini, Preston, Charles (16601711), Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004 [http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/47084, accessed 18 June 2013]).
