  <dc:title>Frederick Montagu to James Beattie from Hanover Square [London]</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Delivered second book of Minstrel to Mrs Montagu and they read it together. Frederick Montagu likes beginning of second book better than the end. Has more imagery and animated descriptions. Latter part more chaste and philosophical. Beattie's name was mentionedwith honour in House of Commons in debate on booksellers bill, but House of Lords barbarous enough to reject it</dc:description>
