Transcription

Haliday is publishing a book, which he thinks Sloane will enjoy as ‘a Lover of the Protestant Religion, and of the Liberties of Mankind’. He notes that Mr Sloane will soon be leaving Geneva. William Sloane, Sir Hans Sloane’s nephew, was traveling the Continent at the time. Haliday was a minister who studied in Glasgow and Leiden before being ordained in Geneva, Switzerland (A. D. G.
