Transcription
Bradley’s paper was published thanks to Sloane having purchased stamps for him. He is looking for more booksellers to carry his paper. Du Bois helped Bradley with the paper. Bradley plans on settling his debts, which he believes to be ‘one hundred pounds’. He hopes that a ‘Publick Physic Garden’ will be founded in Cambridge and details how such a garden would benefit the university and himself. 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]).
