  <dc:title>Robert Arbuthnot to James Beattie from Edinburgh</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Minstrel only arrived last week, having wandered to Glasgow. Given to Cochran [James Cochran of Murray and Cochran, printers in Edinburgh of the Scots Magazine] to print in quarto and send to Beattie for corrections. Should soon appear in Edinburgh and London. Has talked to Kincaid and Bell, and is sure that Beattie will be satisfied with bargain. Forbes, Arbuthnot and Gregory think Beattie should accept Kincaid's offer concerning Opus Magnum. Bell says they have only cleared £35 by first edition, assuming all sold, and actually there are forty or fifty left. Quickness of sale was wonderful , and entirely owing to animanted manner of writing</dc:description>
