Had doubts about excerpt from Anna Seward’s book [Life of Dr Darwin]. Sends slightly enlarged version of his "Erasmus Darwin". Includes footnote denouncing Seward’s book.
Finds that part 2 of ED’s Botanic garden, 2d ed. (1790), appeared before part 1 (1791).
Asks if CD would like to subscribe to a reprint of Edward Blyth’s Field articles on cranes.
