Transcription
Chamberlayne returns a prayer book, which he borrowed from Sloane. He asks whether Sloane has ‘any other Lds Prayer in any of the Dialects of S. America, or any of the African Languages’. Chamberlayne is looking for a ‘Paper of Mr. Sraves [?] abt some Raritys in Egypt lately read in the R. Society’. John Chamberlayne was a translator and editor specializing in modern languages which he studied at the University of Leiden. He translated works on many topics, was a fellow of the Royal Society, and published three works in the Philsophical Transactions (Reavley Gair, Chamberlayne, John (1668/91723), Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004; online edn, Oct 2009 [http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/5060, accessed 30 May 2011]).
