Transcription
Tournefort asks that Sloane introduce Gundelsheimer to London, whom he sends with prints prepared for his upcoming book on the plants of Paris. He thanks Sloane for the books he has been sent and asks about an issue of the Philosophical Transactions in which Gregori criticizes the Abbe Galloys on a question of mathematics. Joseph Pitton de Tournefort (1656-1708) was a French botanist who developed the idea of taxonomically organizing plants according to the concept of genus. He published the famous Elements de botanique (1694) and travelled the Mediterranean and Caucuses to research their flora from 1700 to 1702 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Pitton_de_Tournefort).
