Transcription
Sibbald reminds Sloane that he sent ’26 copies’ of his description of Fife. He asks if they arrived. Sibbald sends a copy of Duglass’ new translation of Virgil. He wants to know the Royal Society’s opinion of his description of Stirlingshire and ‘the three Lothians’. Sir Robert Sibbald was a physician and a geographer. He was physician to James VII (Charles W. J.
