Summary:
Has enquired with Dr [Richard] Beadon, master of Jesus College, Cambridge, about the possibility of Cambridge University Press printing Smith's new edition of "Philosophia Botanica", Smith is to write to Beadon with further details of the work. Slight concern that the Press may object to printing Smith's name and degree on the title page in case it gives the impression of sanctioning Smith's [Leiden] degree. Hinted that a "neat edition" of all Linneaus' works would be welcomed at the Press.
