[fol. 92] Stockholm 23d Nov. 1725. O.S. Sir Since the sailing of the ship, of which I sent you advice by the Post on the 17th inst:t Dr Benzelius desired me to forward the inclosed Trimestre Secumdum 1725, which accordingly I do my Messenger as far as Hanover. I also send enclosed an Extract of a voyage to Japan which I met with lately in an Auction in the Swedish Tongue. You will be best able to find out whether it ever appeared in any other language, particularly the second part, and consequently if so, I expect your opinion and commands about translating it into English and adding it to Kampfer’s Book. It would give an opportunity to try how much I have improved in this Country’s language. I have not yet been able to supply the defect in the Lapponian Prayerbook. I beg most humbly excuse for this short Letter, and leave to assure Dr Scheuchzer of my best respects and good wishes for the success of his work. I am with the greatest veneration Sir Your most humble and most obedient servant Ph.H. Zollman

Philip Henry Zollman (c. 1680-1748) was the Royal Society’s first Assistant Secretary for Foreign Correspondence, a post he assumed in 1723. He first landed in England in 1714, was trained in several foreign languages, and regularly corresponded with Leibniz (Derek Massarell, ‘Philip Henry Zollman, the Royal Society’s First Assistant Secretary for Foreign Correspondence’, Notes and Records of the Royal Society of London 46, no. 2 (1992), 219-234).

Zabdiel Boylston to Hans Sloane – December 14, 1726


Item info

Date: December 14, 1726
Author: Zabdiel Boylston
Recipient: Hans Sloane

Library: British Library, London
Manuscript: Sloane MS 4048
Folio: f. 238



Original Page



Transcription

Boylston arrived in New England after ‘a long & Expensive voyage’. He thanks Sloane for his many favours and promises to send any curiosities he finds in New England. Boylston has enclosed a stone ‘out of a Gelding […] of about 17 years old’. It was removed just after he had left for London. The ‘Gelding’, or horse, was in pain for two weeks before it died. He was active, ‘fatt & lively’ before his illness. The first sign of sickness was a painful fit, ‘which lasted 2 or three days’. This pain subsided and he returned to riding and other activities, but ‘a week or ten days’ later the pain returned and he died shortly thereafter. It is thought that the stone removed from him was unrelated to the cause of death. The stone was found in his stomach. ‘When first taken out it weighed five pounds about Eight ounces, it now weighs but five pounds six ounces & seven drachms, and measures round one way, seventeen inches & 3 q’rs’. Many people have come to see the large stone, but Boylston thinks it would be best to give it to Sloane. He has not encountered any controversy for his publication on smallpox. The bearer is his nephew, Edward Boylston, who would appreciate a recommendation. Zabdiel Boylston (1679-1766) was a physician famous for his inoculation of roughly 250 people during the smallpox epidemic of Boston in 1721. His method of inoculation was controversial because it was based on African practices. In 1724 Boylston traveled to London where he published the ‘Historical Account of the Small-Pox Inoculated in New England’. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1726 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zabdiel_Boylston).
