Summary:
Received request from Revd [George] Gleig [(1753-1840), Primus of Scottish Episcopal Church] to quote some of his "Linnean Transactions" work in "Encyclopedia Britannica", requests Smith's opinion. Notes that his work had previously been "plundered" by "Encyclopedia Britannica" and that there is nothing to stop them plundering the text of "Linnean Transactions" and even undated plates.
