EDITED BY ERIC S. ROBERTSON, M.A., PROFESSOR OF ENGLISH LITERATURE AND PHILOSOPHY IN THE UNIVERSITY OF THE PUNJAB, LAHORE. LIFE OF COLERIDGE LIFE OF SAMUEL TAYLOR COLERIDGE BY HALL CAINE LONDON WALTER SCOTT 24 WARWICK LANE, PATERNOSTER ROW 1887 NOTE PR 4483 C3 THI HIS short biography has been compiled from many sources that cannot be mentioned here-table-talk, letters, diaries, memoirs, reminiscences, magazine articles, newspaper reports, and a few documents which have not hitherto been employed by any biographer of Coleridge. To two living Coleridgeans I must more particularly acknowledge my indebtedness-Mr. T. Ashe, and Mr. H. D. Traill. I have, however, been compelled to depart from these excellent authorities in my rendering of certain incidents of the first importance, and in my general reading of Coleridge's character as a man. |
