Transcription
Lhwyd discusses a variety of interactions between members of the Royal Society and other intellectuals, including Martin Lister. He solicits Sloane’s vote for Alsop as the Royal College of Physicians’ beadle. Edward Lhwyd (1659/60-1709) was a naturalist and philologist. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1708. Sir Hans Sloane described him as the best naturalist in Europe (Brynley F.
