Summary:
Discussion of pricing and profit and loss for his "A description of the genus Pinus". Lord Spencer [George John Spencer], Lord Blandford [George Spencer-Churchill], Lord Bath [Thomas Thynne, 2nd Marquess of Bath (1765-1837)], and [William] Beckford [(1759-1844)] have all had copies. Sir Joseph Banks thinks it "the finest work ever published".
