Transcription
Papin only just received Sloane’s letter. He will come to see Sloane as soon as he was back. Denis Papin (1647-1712) was a natural philosopher and physician. Instead of practicing medicine he studied mathematics and machinery. He worked with Christian Huygens and Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz before being appointed curator of experiments for the Royal Society (Anita McConnell, ‘Papin, Denis (1647–1712?)’, Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004; online edn, Oct 2007 [http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/21249, accessed 9 July 2014]).
