Transcription
Charlett reviewed the catalogue Sloane sent him and lists the books the Bodleian Library already possesses, one of which is in Hebrew. He thanks Sloane for wanting to donate those books not in the Library’s collection. 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]).
