recent corrections - andaccept
your offer on the following
conditions
@. As I am neither a printer nor
an Editor, I cannot superintend the
typographical & Editorial ex=
=ecution of the work - any
further than to read and
correct the proof sheets, so far
as to see that my meaning is not
misapprehended -but this I will do
provided the work be put through
the press by the tenth of March next
and the proofs be duly sent to me
@. I shall need two copies of each
proof and two copies of each revise
of which
one of each ^ I shall keep for reference
[page 2]
and the other I shall return
Having made considerable
alteration in the first 100 pages
of the work
my reading the proofs of this

will be indispensable to your
getting out a correct edition
@. I expect to remain in England
at least until the tenth of March

the payment of the £100 by the
