  <dc:title>William Creech to James Beattie from Edinburgh</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Apologies for not answering several letters. Everything Beattie asked for has been done. Pleased by comments on the copies delivered to their Majesties. Presents Beattie with two copies bound in a similar manner and a copy of Blair's sermons. London review speak like idiots about the Essay on Truth, but praise the other essays, particularly that on music, highly [London Review, vol. 5 (1777), pp 1-12, 81-91, 192-8]. Creech agrees with Mrs Montagu's opinion. Since the days of Addison we have had no equal style to Beattie's, and Beattie adds more correctness and deeper thinking</dc:description>
