| Title | Hunter, Alexander: certificate of election to the Royal Society |
| Citation | Doctor Alexander Hunter, an eminient Physician at York, desires to offer himself a Candidate for election into the Royal Society. He is well known to the Public as the Editor of the Georgical Essays, and as the Author of some of the most valuable Papers on Agriculture and Natural History, in that Collection. His Treatise on Buxton Water has been much read and approved; and he is now engaged in preparing for the Press a very correct and splendid Edition of Mr Evelyn's Silva; a Work which originated from the Royal Society in 1664, and is highly deserving of their present encouragement.
We, whose names are subscribed, recommend Dr Hunter, from our own knowledge, as a Gentleman, a Scholar, and a Philosopher; and we believe that he will be a valuable acquisition to the Royal Society, if he shall have the honour of being elected a Fellow |
