Transcription
Ray has returned ‘the 2 Tribes [Sloane] last sent’. He received Mr Harris’ book yesterday, which he found ‘to be a scurrilous piece’ that falsely attributes many ideas to Dr Robinson. Ray found several ‘Typographical Errata’ in Sloane’s own work. He asks Sloane to ‘dispatch away to Dr Preston’ the enclosed. Ray was a theologian and naturalist who collected and catalogued his botanical findings in the much lauded Historia plantarum (1686, 1688) (Scott Mandelbrote, Ray , John (16271705), Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004; online edn, Oct 2005 [http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/23203, accessed 18 June 2013]).
