  <dc:title>[To Sir William Forbes], from Aberdeen</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Thanks for sending Priestley's book. Priestly proficient in natural history and chemistry, but not in moral philosophy. Misrepresents Beattie's book by partial quotation. Petulance. Patrick Wilson says most violent of Priestley's invectives could be answered by quotations from Beattie's book. Priestley assumes incorrectly that Beattie, Reid and Oswald agree. Beattie seriously intends to answer Priestly in print. Drew on Forbes's house for £15 a few days ago. Offer of living by Bishop of Winchester. </dc:description>
