Johnston asks if Sloane had the chance to read the manuscripts he had sent, hoping they will soon be returned. Johnston was a physician, antiquarian, and political theorist celebrated for his book ‘The Excellency of Monarchical Government’ (1686) (Mark Goldie, Johnston, Nathaniel (bap. 1629?, d. 1705), Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004; online edn, Jan 2008 [http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/14946, accessed 21 June 2013]).
