Summary:
At request of the publishers sending Smith a copy of new edition of "Lee on Botany". Explains that he had no inclination to have any involvement with the new edition, but the publishers added his name and dedicated it to Smith in his name, "which is an effrontery truely in unison with Paternoster Row". Expects, if it is "a piece with all Lee's life" [James Lee (1715-1795), father of writer of this letter], that it will contain "many blunders & falsehoods".
