Transcription

Blondell presents Sloane with a ‘small Treatise which I’m oblig’d to Publish’. James Augustus Blondell (1666-1734) was born in Paris and took his MD at Leyden in 1692. He was admitted a Licentiate of the Royal College of Physicians in 1711. Blondell authored two works: ‘The Strength of Imagination of Pregnant Women Examined’ of 1727 and ‘The Power of the Mother’s Imagination over the Foetus Examined’ in 1729 (http://munksroll.rcplondon.ac.uk/Biography/Details/447).
