Transcription
Beard encloses an account of an ‘affair [that] made so much noise in the country’. He went to see the source of the story himself so as to ‘collect the best information I could from her friends’. Richard Beard (c. 1688-1734) was a physician. He took his MA at Glasgow (1709) and MD at Leyden (1713). Beard practiced at Worcester and was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1726 (https://collections.royalsociety.org/DServe.exe?dsqIni=Dserve.ini&dsqApp=Archive&dsqCmd=Show.tcl&dsqDb=Persons&dsqPos=0&dsqSearch=%28Surname%3D%27beard%27%29).
