Transcription
Doody requests Sloane’s company in Greenwich on Thursday at noon to view a collection of plants. Samuel Doody was a botanist, elected a fellow of the Royal Society in 1695. According to contemporaries his personality prevented him from publishing or presenting his work, though he contributed one article to the Philosophical Transactions. Many of his dried plant specimens were housed in Sloane’s herbarium (B. D. Jackson, Doody, Samuel (16561706), rev.
