Transcription
Ray thanks Sloane for the gift of sugar and for meeting the Lord Bishop of London, who offered his assistance in promoting Ray’s book. Ray sends two copies of his ‘Planturum Emendata’ to Sloane as thanks. 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]).
