Transcription
Breyne was disappointed to hear his letter from Rome did not reach London because there was a curious account therein. He thanks Sloane for a book and is eager to see Sir Isaac Newton’s new ‘Burning Glass’. Breyne wants to see Ray’s new work on insects and desires a catalogue of the fellows of the Royal Society. These are to be sent with the merchant Henry de Gols. Breyne is thinking of spending the winter in Danzig. Dr Vallisneri wants permission to write Sloane a letter on insects. Johann Philipp Breyne (1680-1764) was a German botanist, zoologist, and entomologist known primarily for his work on the Polish cochineal, or Porphyrophora polonica, used in red dye production. He became a fellow of the German Academy of Sciences Leopoldina in 1715 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johann_Philipp_Breyne).
