Transcription
Sherard asks for a catalogue of Royal Society members. He discusses his work with John Ray. Dr Hotton’s book is being published in Holland. Sherard informs Sloane that in Signor del Papa’s publication Signor Ignatio should be credited as Mr Higgeford, a watchmaker. The former is a mistake. Sherard was a botanist and cataloguer. He worked for the Turkish Company at Smyrna where he collected botanical specimens and antiques (D. E.
