Transcription
King thanks Sloane for sending both volumes of his Natural History of Jamaica. There is a professorship of natural philosophy in Ireland, but ‘we want one of Botany and a physick garden’. William King was a Church of Ireland clergyman and Archbishop of Dublin. He is considered to be the most important figure within the Church of Ireland of his time. King wrote trenchant critiques of other branches of Christianity as well as theological works (S. J.
