Transcription
Vallisneri sends his letter by way of Antony Picenini. He includes two books he authored in Italian on medical topics. Vallisneri hopes the approval of Sloane and his colleagues will give greater weight to his work. 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).
