Transcription
This letter is a copy of two letters sent to Sir Thomas Dereham, one by Antonio Vallisneri and the other by Eustachio Manfredi. Dereham copied them himself and has forwarded them to Sloane as he said he would. See: Sloane MS 4049, fols. 119-120. Vallisneri and Manfredi congratulate Sloane on his election as President of the Royal Society. Antonio Vallisneri (1661-1730) was a medical scientist, physician, and naturalist who held prestigious chairs of medicine at the University of Padua from 1700 to his death. His approach to science was greatly influenced by Leibniz, Conti, and Galileo’s experimental methodology (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antonio_Vallisneri). Eustachio Manfredi (1674-1739) was an Italian mathematician, astronomer, and poet. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1729 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eustachio_Manfredi).
