  <dc:title>Sylvester Douglas to James Beattie from London</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Thanks for and praises for the second book of Minstrel. Refers to revolution in Beattie's poetic taste, which he told Douglas about some years ago, and which he alludes to in account of Edwin. Admires passage on Gregory. Heard Priestley to attack Essay on Truth. Douglas is collecting Scoticisms and asks Beattie to let him peruse what he has on the subject. Hume published a short and very faulty list some years ago. [Note by Beattie - answered and sent te paper desired]</dc:description>
