Transcription

A book Bradley wrote ‘some years ago’ has finally been published by the bookseller. He sends a copy for Sloane and hopes it is well received. Bradley asks if he can borrow the Memoires de l’Academie for 1716 for a few days. Richard Bradley (1688?-1732) was a scientific author, Fellow of the Royal Society, and Professor of Botany at Cambridge (Frank N. Egerton, “Bradley, Richard (1688?-1732)”, Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004; online edn, May 2005 [http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/3189, accessed 10 Nov 2012]).
