  <dc:title>Charles Dilly to James Beattie from London</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Thanks for letter of 17th. Glad delay in sending manuscript and copy was not from giving up an intention of printing the memoir and James Hay Beattie's poems, to be subjoined to a new edition of The Minstrel and Other Poems. Good reason to publish Life since a surreptitious edition will have the copy ready in two or three weeks. Refers to elegant edition of Cowper's poems by Johnson. Mr Gillet  will send a copy for Beattie to Gillet's brother in Aberdeen. Mr Colin Gillies, brother of Dr Gillies the Grecian historian, wants to print a cheap edition of Evidences. Dilly assumes he will readily obtain permission from Strahan or Cadell, and Creech.</dc:description>
