Transcription

Beaumont visited Bristol and saw the collection of the late Mr Cole. Mr Lloyd recently came from Oxford and catalogued it. Beaumont hopes that Gresham College would be interested in procuring the collection and keeping it in a repository. John Beaumont was a natural philosopher, geologist, translator, and writer who contributed specimens to the Royal Society’s collection (Scott Mandelbrote, Beaumont, John (c.16401731), Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004; online edn, Sept 2010 [http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/1876, accessed 1 Sept 2011]).
