  <dc:title>Sylvester Douglas to James Beattie from London</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Apologies for twelve month delay in replying to Beattie. Has sold his own two volume octavo work for 100 guineas. Hopes to publish one more volume. Looks forward to Beattie's Essay on Laughter. Every lover of true poetry longs for another part of the Minstrel. Refers to Gibbon</dc:description>
