Transcription
Brewer waited on Dr Richardson today, but he was gone and will not return for a fornight. The plants were supposed to be ready. Brewer will wait for Sloane’s orders. He discusses the classification of plant specimens and ‘the Royal Wm Butterfly’. Samuel Brewer (bap. 1669, d. 1743?) was a botanist. He discovered several plant species that were included in the third edition of John Ray’s ‘Synopsis’, which was published in 1724 (John Martin, ‘Brewer, Samuel (bap. 1669, d. 1743?)’, Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004 [http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/3366, accessed 8 Aug 2014]).
