Transcription
Cooke is grateful that Sloane subscribed to his ‘Collection of Essays’. He sends a receipt for the book. Cooke encloses an additional paper for Sloane’s consideration. He discusses the cost of printing the book in detail and names its subscribers. Thomas Cooke (1703-1756), known as ‘Hesiod’ Cooke, was a popular translator of the Classics and writer (Sidney Lee, ‘Cooke, Thomas (1703–1756)’, rev.
