Transcription
Fraser waited on Sir Isaac Newton, who was in possession of a branch from China called ‘Manga-paha with the Leaves and fruits full ripe’. He describes the branch, its leaves, and fruit in detail. James Fraser (1645-1731) was a book dealer with a formidable personal library (Brian Moffat, ‘Fraser, James (1645–1731)’, Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004; online edn, Jan 2008 [http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/73233, accessed 11 May 2015]).
