"Playfair states that the second part of the fifth volume of Transactions of the Royal Society has been printed and will be shipped to London; he will send the recipients 200 copies and asks them to advise about the advertising schedule. Playfair also requests that a copy be sent to the Royal Society and another copy to Sir Joseph Banks. As for his own book ( Illustrations of the Huttonian theory of the earth , 1802), Playfair would like to learn about the progress of its sales, especially in Dublin; he asks that copies be sent to Robert Berry, Major William Rennel, and Dr. Thomson. His booksellers, Cadell and Davies have included their reply on the second recto sheet, stating that they received the copies, have forwarded the requested volumes, and are awaiting instructions about price."
