  <dc:title>Elizabeth Montagu to James Beattie from London</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Concerned Beattie imagined she was offended with him. She did not blame him, because he is not practiced in subscription. She has never known such a publication not being made known by advertisment in papers. Doubts Lady Mayne's abilities as a bookseller. Not usual for ladies to treat one another in manner she has treated Mrs Montagu, but she will behave with civility and bear all the indignities Lady Newhaven pleases to offer her. But was certainly not displeased with Beattie. [In this letter, Mrs Montagu sometimes refers to 'Lady Mayne', and sometimes correctly to 'Lady Newhaven']. Dr Warton sends regards</dc:description>
