Transcription

Hudson thanks Sloane for the box of books. He will have Mr Hartley make a catalogue of all the books Sloane has provided. Hudson is considering doing an edition of ‘Nicander’, but only if the Royal Society or the College of Physicians is interested. John Hudson (1662-1719) was elected librarian of the Bodleian Library in 1701. He corresponded with numerous scholars and librarians, both in England and abroad (Theodor Harmsen, Hudson, John (16621719), Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004; online edn, Jan 2013 [http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/14034, accessed 27 June 2013]).
