Transcription
Cooke is ‘now engaged in a Work, in which [he] must be obliged to [Sloane’s] Book’. He would like to know more about the plates representing musical instruments, Spanish money, birds, fish, and the ‘2 Urns in which the Bones of the Indians of Jamaica’ were found. The bones appear in Sloane’s Catalogue Humana (entries 1, 18, 20, 73, 78) and are discussed in his Voyage to the Islands. Thomas Cooke (1703-1756), known as ‘Hesiod’ Cooke, was a popular translator of the Classics and writer (Sidney Lee, ‘Cooke, Thomas (1703–1756)’, rev. Arthur Sherbo, Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004 [http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/6180, accessed 20 Aug 2014]).
