  <dc:title>To Rev Dr Porteous, Lambeth, from Aberdeen</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Johonson's journey has many things worthy of him, but errors about Scots character. Beattie wants to see English character prevail, but Scots are not all a nation of liars and cheats. Beattie has often defended Johnson, but there are several things in this book which he cannot defend. Not surprised at Johnson's unbelieve about Ossian, but surprised at credulity concerning second sight. Beattie has never been to Isles. </dc:description>
