  <dc:title>William Creech to James Beattie from Edinburgh</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Details of how copies [of the quarto volume] are to be packed, shipped to London, and insured. Copies for their Majesties will be bound in most elegant manner, one in red and one in green morocco. Forty copies in sheets are ready to go to Aberdeen. Creech will carefully deliver those Beattie intends for present in Edinburgh. The octavo editio is not so elegant as the quartos, but much better than some of the London editions of the Essay on Truth. Sale copies of quarto should not be advertised till subscribers are supplied. Look forward to receiving poems, but several others deserved to be acknowledged</dc:description>
