Autograph letter signed : Edinburgh, to George Ellis, 1810 July 6.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/744649098

Concerning English politics, referring to a recent canvassing effort by Mackenzie and mentioning Canning. Hoping that Ellis will visit Ashestiel the following year; saying that he longs to see his young greyhound Juliana; thanking him for his "exertions" on behalf of the Lady of the Lake and musing on how it will be criticized in the Edinburgh Review, noting "Jeffrey is said in private to talk very highly but that is no rule for his public criticism for I've seen him weep warm tears over Wordsworths poetry & you know how he treats the poor Balladmaker when he is mounted into the Scorner's Chair." Wishing that they could publish the Quarterly Review more regularly.
