Summary:
Thanks for election as FMLS. Sending copies of [Anton August Heinrich] Lichtenstein's [(1753-1816), German zoologist] "Commentatio philologica de Simiarum", one if for Dr George Shaw [(1751-1813), botanist and zoologist]. Translation of [William] Smellie's [(1740-1795)] "Philosophy of Natural History" he is supervising is almost complete, does not understand how Smellie undertook the work without understanding more modern languages as a considerable portion of new discoveries would not have been accessible to him.
