Transcription
Lister thanks Sloane for a warning of some kind. He offers to lend him a book for the trouble. Martin Lister was a physician and naturalist who was honored by being appointed second physician to the queen in 1710. He wrote and published several medical and natural history works, some of which appeared in Philosophical Transactions, as well as serving as vice-president of the Royal Society briefly in 1685-1686 (J. D. Woodley, Lister, Martin (bap. 1639, d. 1712), Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004; online edn, Oct 2008 [http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/16763, accessed 11 May 2011]).
