Transcription
Vallisneri wants to establish a correspondence with Sloane. He describes entomological experiments relating to feeding and digestion. He hopes of applying this knowledge to medicine. Antonio Vallisneri (1661-1730) was a medical scientist, physician, and naturalist who held prestigious chairs of medicine at the University of Padua from 1700 to his death. His approach to science was greatly influenced by Leibniz, Conti, and Galileo’s experimental methodology (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antonio_Vallisneri).
