Transcription
Geoffroy compliments Sloane’s cabinet of curiosities and relates his warm relations with Sir Isaac Newton. He is trying to procure a ‘portrait de l’eclipse’ and a book. Geoffroy’s brother is beginning his studies at the Jardin du Roi in chemistry. There will be a demonstration at the Royal College. He sends respects from De Monmort, De Jussieu, Anisson, and Gambarini. Etienne Francois Geoffroy (1672-1731) was an apothecary and physician who studied at Montpellier, like Sloane, and worked at the Jardin du Roi and College Royal (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Etienne_Francois_Geoffroy).
