Great day today at the Friends of Cressing Temple Apple Day. Thank you to everyone who came over t enjoy the crafts and learn more about #JohnRay #naturalscience #history #outreach

Great to see loads of bees enjoying the lavender in the #JohnRay gardens at Braintree and Bocking Public Gardens #SaveTheBees

New dataset alert.... data.nhm.ac.uk/dataset/samuel… The Herbarium of the apothecary and physician Samuel Dale (1659-1739), donated to @NHM_London in 1862 by the @ApothecariesLDN and originally housed at @ChelsPhysicGdn. Now databased (but not imaged and lots more still to do...).

@JohnRayTrust ...and there is material from John Ray's garden in Dale's herbarium

Samuel Dale from #Braintree was a close friend of #JohnRay and helped him collect local specimens. Dale also helped sell Ray's book collection after his death to help raise funds for his widow

#Annotations appear in books in different ways, and for varying reasons. They have the potential to provide valuable information. Sir Hans Sloane’s personal copy of Historia Plantarum by John Ray (1704) contains #marginalia references to his #Herbarium @NHM_Botany @NHM_London

Exciting to hear about this project to digitize a copy of #JohnRay's History of Plants owned by Hans Sloane. Sloane's annotations show how Ray's work was being used by the leading scholars of the day
