Transcription
The book Sibbald promised to send will be delivered to Sloane by a friend. There are three copies: one for Sloane, one for the Royal Society, and one for Martin Lister. Sibbald offers his observations regarding the North of Britain. He has 300 more copies, which he wants to distribute to booksellers. Sibbald is also publishing a book by Bishop Calvin Duglass and will send a copy to Sloane. He reminds Sloane that he would like the Philosophical Transactions for 1707 and 1708 and a copy of Mr Ray’s book. Sir Robert Sibbald was a physician and a geographer. He was physician to James VII (Charles W. J.
