  <dc:title>[To Sir Joshua Reynolds], from Aberdeen</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Could not accept Sir Joshua's portrait without being accused of ostentation, but will accept it in trust for James Hay Beattie. Three new essays ready to be subjoined to Essay on Truth in quarto. Will make a 500-page volume separately printed in octavo. Near end of Classical Learning praises Johonson. Encloses something for Mr Gibbon. Longs to see his history.</dc:description>
