Description	Returns list of subscriber with a few corrections. It would be no great trouble to her to distribute all the books to the subscribers by her own hands. Some have not yet paid and they will not be able to evade it when the book is given to them. Glad that Beattie is content with the success of the undertaking though Lady Newhaven wishes it had been much greater. Beattie's delicacy prevented her mentioning it to a lot more people. Many illustrious characters among the subscribers. Approves Beattie's advertisement
