Transcription
Charlett informs Sloane that the ‘Philosophical Experiments’ in Mr Whiteside’s new courses at Oxford are very popular. Charlett may visit Mr Isted in Northamptonshire. Charlett was elected Master of University College at Oxford in 1692 and held that post until his death in 1722. Charlett used the mastership to gain influence, especially through persistent letter-writing to numerous correspondents, sharing the latest literary, political, and scholarly gossip (R. H. Darwall-Smith, Charlett, Arthur (16551722), Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004 [http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/5158, accessed 1 June 2011]).
