Transcription
Ray thanks Sloane for his recent gift of sugar. He sends Sloane Tournefort’s ‘Institutions’ and discusses Bobart’s work and Sherard’s collections. Ray sends a small gift: his short work, ‘A Persuasive to a Holy Life’. 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]).
