Any Latin scholars about?

I need about a page of Latin translated. It's late - 18th century, so no classicisms. I will be Very Grateful (and that's about all I'll do, I'm sorry. They don't pay much on a postdoc's salary).

And in keeping with that fine circus tradition, the Duggar Family is about to have their 18th child.
On June 18th (year undisclosed, under the pain of torture, not to mention prolonged abstinence), a baby girl was born. She was born in Richmond, VA, quite by accident - although from an old Raliegh family, her father was doing his residency in Richmond at the time.

I'm a mere student, and not very good at that, but if no-one else offers, I can do it. goblinpaladin at the gmails.

How about posting it?
I did Latin in high school, and I'm sure if you post it, the combined intellect of Scienceblogs could give you an approximation.

just googling 'translate into latin' brought up this free software:
http://www.translation-guide.com/free_online_translators.php?from=Engli…

not sure how good it is, but I imagine that it's pretty easy to tell if it sucks (because if it does, it'll give you gobledeegook). if nothing else, you'll get a rough translation + it should be easier for your volunteer to fix it than to start from scratch

Teaching myself but dyslexic so I only use for personal consumption. I had difficulty with some obscure but key correspondance sent to John Ray, did an exhaustive search for a translation came up with zip as I suspect I would. One month later came across what I needed by sheer chance tucked away in an old oxford history of science series of volumes on late 17th century thinkers.

None of the few refrences on the subject refered to a translation.

A rather happy bunny.You never know whats round the corner.
