Transcription

Johnston hopes Sloane will respond to his letters and print ‘the papers’. He thinks the latter might be ‘gratefull to the publick’. He plans on waiting on Sloane next Sunday afternoon. 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]).
