Transcription
Count Luigi Ferdinando Marsigli has penned a new work of Natural History. Molyneux suggests the scope is too broad and Marsigli will fall short. Molyneux thanks Sloane for the Philosophical Transactions. He asks if his letter regarding Roman Antiquities might be published in the Transactions in light of recent articles on the subject. Thomas Molyneux was a physician and natural philosopher who corresponded with Sloane, Edward Lhuyd, and John Locke (J. B.
