Copy Letter Messrs MacQueen and Macintosh, W.S., to H. Ft. Duff, Esquire, dated 30th April 1819. Mr Blackwood seems impressed with the belief that Messrs Cadell and Davies acquired an unconditional right to the docu- ments lodged by you with them; and that this right may be now exercised by making them up in a new publication, with any other papers of interest connected with Scotland. Mr B. in- tends to consult an eminent literary character of this place and to request him to make a fit selection for publication under the title of "Scotch Papers." Being informed as to the nature of the contract between you and Messrs Cadell and Davies, we did not offer any observa- tions on the scheme developed by Mr Blackwood which has for a separate object to give the public several documents received from you, but which Messrs G.
