Transcription

Krieg apologizes for not responding to Sloane sooner. He writes about German mining, cobalt extraction, the latter’s separation from stone, and smelting. David Krieg (1669-1710) was a garrison physician based in Riga, Latvia. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1699 with the support of Sir Hans Sloane (https://collections.royalsociety.org/DServe.exe?dsqIni=Dserve.ini&dsqApp=Archive&dsqCmd=Show.tcl&dsqDb=Persons&dsqPos=0&dsqSearch=%28Surname%3D%27krieg%27%29).
