The incorrect statement that Grew was Secretary of the Royal Society at the time that Malpighi's manuscript was received by that body, is also repeated in the English translation of Schleiden's work [Schleiden's Principles of Scientific Botany, translated by Edwin Lankester, London, 1849, p. 38].

In this little book the more important parts of Malpighi's work are translated into German, and a number of the figures reproduced).

[10] By the courtesy of the Council of the Royal Society, I have been able to compare these annotations with certain manuscript letters of Nehemiah Grew's preserved in the Society's Library. This comparison confirms the view that the annotations are in Grew's own handwriting.
