Transcription
Hotton sends the ‘Adversaria Anatomica’ by Giovanni Battista Morgagni. The latter had sent a copy to Hotton and requested he send it to Sloane. Morgagni also asked that Hotton convey a copy to William Cowper. Hotton asks Sloane to pass the book on to Cowper. He encloses letters from Lavater, catalogues of books, and a botanical treatise. Rivinus is preparing a book on ‘Terris Sigillatis’. Peter Hotton (1648-1709), also known as Petrus Houttuyn, was Professor of Botany and Medicine at Leiden University. He supervised the university’s botanic gardens (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petrus_Houttuyn).
