  <dc:title>Robert Arbuthnot to James Beattie from Edinburgh</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Encloses letter to James Sibbald about Addison edition. [Sibbald was the Edinburgh bookseller who published jointly with Creech the four volume edition of Addison's papers (Edinburgh 1790).] Arbuthnot does not believe Creech is giving it serious thought. Could Beattie therefore write a preface to Addison for Sibbald? Is James Hay Beattie finishing his didactic poem? Wonderful performance which should be published </dc:description>
