Transcription

Abbé Bignon thanks Sloane for his letter and sending ‘les sept collections philosophiques du Docteur hook, les memoires hebdomadaires de M. Beaumont, le commentariolum Britannicae descriptionis’, the latest ‘Monthy-Catalogues’, and the Philosophical Transactions for the Bibliothèque du Roi. Monsieur de Chammorel will relay Bignon’s concerns to Sloane. Jean-Paul Bignon (1662-1743) was a clergyman, librarian to Louis XIV, member of the Academie francaise, and mentor of Joseph Pitton de Tournefort (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean-Paul_Bignon).
