Thanks Smith for the books he sent. Sir Brooke Boothby [6th baronet (1744-1824)] and Dr Johnson of Derby wish to become members of the Linnean Society. Boothby has a great collection of plants at his house. Mentions his own admittance to the society. Enjoyed reading Smith's thesis on "generation" but believes their theories will not agree.
