Transcription
Ray accepts that he will have to set his History of Plants aside. He had asked Sloane to inform Charles Preston that his Method has been published. Many people have been clamouring for him to describe the exotic plants in the collections of London’s elite. 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]).
