  <dc:title>James Mercer to James Beattie from Corke</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Mercer brought forth a small copy of verses addressed to the genius of Loch Chorib where he was quartered in 1766. Beattie says he has forsworn the muse to become a mighty prose writer. Beattie mentions Gray's imitations of Norwegian poetry. He would be grateful to beattie for a perusal of them but even more for a perusal of Beattie's original work.</dc:description>
