Transcription
Pulteney read of a blind man regaining his sight after an operation in the Tatler. He wrote to Des Maizeaux who, having heard that Sloane investigated the matter, requests further information. Des Maizeaux was a French Huguenot writer in exile in London known for his translations of Pierre Bayle as well as publications of his own (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pierre_des_Maizeaux).
