  <dc:title>Thomas Blacklock to James Beattie from Edinburgh</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Thanks for Essays. Universally approved. Reading Essay on Truth for seventh time. At time when he was overwhelmed by disappointments, was inclined to adopt philosophy of Hume, but Essay on Truth emancipated him from this. Praise for Essay on Poetry. Has Beattie seen Gibbon? </dc:description>
