John Northleigh to Hans Sloane – November 9, 1698


Item info

Date: November 9, 1698
Author: John Northleigh
Recipient: Hans Sloane

Library: British Library, London
Manuscript: Sloane MS 4037
Folio: ff. 153-154


Original Page


Transcription

Northleigh was called away to the country sooner than he had expected, otherwise he would have waited on Sloane. He desires more of Sloane’s company and conversation than ‘that transient Interview we had at the Coffee House’ allowed. Northleigh wishes he could have visited hospitals with Sloane and is was looking forward to seeing, whether in scabies or pustules, ‘those little Vermicelli; or Pellicelli as my Italian Virtuoso calls them’. Northleigh has written several essays on pustules but cannot discover their animation. He comments that he distrusts his ‘opticks’ and his glass more than the veracity of the thing. He wonders whether a colder climate prevents their maturation. He asks about membership in the Royal Society and, if he is admitted, what fees or contributions are due. John Northleigh (1656/7-1705) was a physician and pamphleteer. He trained as a lawyer before studying medicine and setting up a practice in Exeter. Northleigh published several works on contemporary politics (Andrew M. Coleby, ‘Northleigh, John (1656/7–1705)’, Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004 [http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/20331, accessed 9 July 2014]).

He obtained a rare and curious manuscript on the History of the Indies in Portuguese, which contains information from all of the writers on ‘l’Indostan’. The book has information on the great and minor persons of Indian history, ‘des Bramines […] et de Rayas de l’Indostan’, their Creation story involving four generations of men, and their religion and culture. A translation has been commissioned by Jacques de Bayury of the ‘Compagnie Hollandaise’. Louis Renard was the Agent du Roy de France dans les Pays-Bas.

I must say that I have a much greater regard for your opinion in such a case, than for any other mans living there is also enclos’d an account by Dr Lidderdale & of my Daughter Caroline’s health, therefore when you have examin’d the whole, I must beg of you to send me your opinion upon it, & whether you approve of the prescriptions lay’d down by these gentlemen for Carolina she is undoubtedly vastly better in every respect insomuch that in all outward appearance, she seems perfectly well but still precautions ought certanly to be taken, against what may happen. she is in a steel diet which agrees very well with her, & she takes the air every day, & is in great spirits the hot weather agreeing very well with her. My Wife is very much recovered; so much that she intends going abroad to morrow, for the first time she has been able, since she has been in Paris she desires her humble service to you. I suppose you have already heard that my Lord & Lady Cadogan are safely arriv’d here they like the Town extreamly well hitherto, & you may [fol. 152] be sure my Wife & I shall do all wee can, to make & agreeable to them dureing their stay. I hop you receiv’d a letter some time ago from me with one enclos’d in it from Monsieur Dufay. I am sure when you know him you will say he is every way deserving of the honor the society has confer’d upon him; of which favour I assure you he is very sensible, as I suppose he has expres’d in his letter of thankes to you. If you have any commands in this country, I beg you would honor me with them; & they shall be most punctually obey’d, by, Dear Sr Hans, Your most faithfull humble servant, Richmond be pleas’d to direct to me, dans la rue des saints peres Fauxbourg St Germains a Paris

From the Masters Lodgings at University Coll. August.9.1698 Honored Sir I delivered the brass coin to Dr Hyde, and told him it came from you, to whom he will send the explieation of it, if any thin can be picked out. He is trying what he can do with a coin of Tangro- lipix, the first Sultan of the Turks in Persia, which he has an ill fasi- on’d Head, and on the reverse a plain Inscription, which the Dr says is in Syriak letters, but I am afraid there will be no great discoveries. I humbly thank you, sir, for your many and great favours to me which I shall never forget, nor refuse to serve you in any thing that lies in my power. Accordingly, I have bought you the follow- ing books in the late Auction, which come to 14s. which Mr Sare at Gracies Inn Gate, to whom I have sent them, will receive. Had not the Auction been generally very dear, you might have ex- pected more, from Honored Sir, d s p Agliamb.  0.9.6.
