After developing his method for creating powerful lenses and applying them to study of the microscopic world, Leeuwenhoek introduced his work to his friend, the prominent Dutch physician Reinier de Graaf. When the Royal Society in London published the groundbreaking work of an Italian lensmaker in their journal Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society, de Graaf wrote to the journal's editor Henry Oldenburg with a ringing endorsement of Leeuwenhoek's microscopes which, he claimed, "far surpass those which we have hitherto seen". In response the Society published in 1673 a letter from Leeuwenhoek, which included his microscopic observations on mold, bees, and lice.
