WISE LONDON : PRINTED FOR THE BIBLIOGRAPHICAL SOCIETY By Richard Clay & Sons, Ltd. 1919 nf 1 IIMW' , kY \^t%z\ PREFATORY NOTE With the exception of four or f\ye items, the books dealt with in the following pages are confined to Complete Volumes of Biography and Criticism, &c. The exceptions (Joseph Forster's Great Teachers, and Stopford Brooke's Theold^y in the English Poets, for example) have been adpnitted because of their importance to the student of Coleridge, ^though they are not devoted exclusively to the Life and Writings of that Poet. In all such instances the name of Coleridge in the transcripts of the title-pages has been printed in capitals. No attempt has been made to compile a list of the mass of Minor Coleridgeiana which exists in Magazines, Newspapers, and other repositories. The bulk of this is so enormous, that were it to be collected and tabulated the usefulness of the result attained would fail to compen- sate for the expenditure of time and labour its arrange- ment and analysis would entail.

T/ie Simpliciad is a clever Satire, after the manner of The Dunciad and English Bards and Scotch Reviewers, upon the early writings of Coleridge, Wordsworth, and Southey. The pamphlet is extremely uncommon. There is a copy in the British Museum, and another in the Manchester Reference Library. The only other example I have seen is in the Library of Mr. Herbert T. Butler. (2) An / Oration / on the Death of / Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Esq. / Delivered at the / Russell Institution, / On Friday, August 8, 1834. / [Synopsis of Contents] j ^y John A.

This Bibliography originally appeared in the pages of Notes and Queries, Eighth Series, 1895, and was seen through the press in its separate form by Colonel W. F. Prideaux. Unfortunately Colonel Prideaux was abroad at the time the sheets passed through his hands, hence he was deprived of access either to his own books or to libraries in England. Had the circumstances been otherwise, the work would have been purged of the innumerable errors and omissions which Shepherd at his death had left undetected and unrectified.

Collation: — Octavo, pp. xiv+144, with a reproduction of the Alston Portrait of Coleridge as Frontispiece. Issued in paper boards, backed with cloth, and with white paper labels on back and side. The edition consisted of 300 small paper copies at $4, and 30 large paper copies at $10. Despite the high promise of its Preface, this book is little more than a reprint of the earlier Bibliography compiled by Richard Heme Shepherd, with the items composing it rearranged, and with the addition of a list of books containing Coleridge Marginalia — a list which, at the cost of a very small amount of time and effort, might have been very considerably expanded — and a wholly inadequate list of Critical References. This list, to be of the slightest use, should have been multiplied at least by four, and the items comprising it should have been arranged in proper chronological order. The volume also contains notes on Coleridge in Fiction and the Portraits of Coleridge. That Dr. Haney spared himself the labour of examining and collating the various editions of Coleridge's Works upon his own account, and adopted the more convenient method of silently re- producing Shepherd's work, becomes immediately apparent if one compares the two books. Partly as the result of careless copying upon Shepherd's part (and with him minute accuracy was never a strong point), and partly by reason of the usual string of printers' errors, the transcripts of title-pages, collations of books, and dates and places of the first appearances of single poems — and sometimes COLERIDGEIANA 23 even of editions — teem with mistakes. It is difficult to detect a slip or a blunder in Shepherd, and not find it faithfully reproduced by Haney. It is a matter for sincere regret that this should be the case, for had Dr. Haney fulfilled his task in a sufficient manner there would have been no occasion for another individual to take the work in hand.

ADDRESSED TO THE DUKE OF PORTLAND. Tuque pedestribu s Dices historiis, proelia Caesaris, Maecenas ! melius; ductaque per vias Regum colla minantium. Horat. lib. ii, ode 12. The polish' d Greeks, renown' d in/afne, Gave felons an illustrious name — And to Jack Ketch were kind : So Pitt, whose tongue is set in oil. Sees Sceptred Knaves, who kill and spoil- In virtues cause combin'd. Conquest they scorn — an infants right Excites their rage : they burn for fight. With pious arms advance; Cobourg a perfect Hero shines. Leaves princely York in Breda's lines , And Belgia yields to France. COLERIDGEJANA 33 Illumin'd Fred'rick on the Rhine, Long stood for Louis' rights divine, " By Reason fir' d and cool'd; " — And now, to keep his force entire. Beyond the stream his troops retire — Led on by British gold. Tho' Mynheer skulks from ditch to ditch. His hoards the British funds enrich — And make our Consols rise ." How vain proud Galliots martial skill ! Her victories our treas'ry fill — To purchase new Allies. While Honour^ s star emblazes Ho we, Sir Gilbert shades great George's brow — With Corsica's rich crown; Bids him the splendid trinket wear, ' Till France enthrones her Bourbon's Heir — Then nobly lay it down. Britons strike home! — extend your trade ; Plunder the sturdy Dane and Swede : Your Poland is — the main ! And Jay dismiss with due disgrace. New Portland boasts the pride and place That dignify' d Germain. Let Jenkinson again inspire Britannia with his patriot fire — To whet her blunted lance : Her sons his loyal voice alarms. While young lulus calls " To arms ! " Take Paris, and win France." This triumph will La Vendie yield. When gallant D'Artois takes the field- Wit h his own Gallic train j Tho' four times fifty thousand strong, fa Ira ruffians, drive along O'er Belgia's bloody plain. 34 COLERIDGEIANA Let Dutchmen {like Saguntines brave) Ope ev'ry Dyke, plunge in the Wave — And join their noble sires : Then Chatham with his thunder wield. And speed Britannia' s fleet to shield— Their sunken towns and spires. When Albion's Wars and Triumphs end. May Scotia's law to us extend — Form'd on Justinian' s plan ; To find new Treason ev'ry day. In what Reformers think, or say — About the Rights of Man. What halcyon days shall then prevail : No Habeas Corpus, and no Bail ! In Peace e'en Reeves may sleep ! While Pitt his failing strength regains. By blood, transfus'd into his veins. From Portlands dogs and sheep. The morbid tree expiring lies, 'Till quick' ning Forsythe daubs applies — And lo ! new branches shoot: Thus blooms the Cabinet for a day. In verdure fresh, in foliage gay — Tho' rotten at the root! (2) Wards Miscellany, London, 1837, Vol. I, pp. 407-409. Marriage. A Letter to a Young Lady. By THE LATE S. T. CoLERIDGE.

A third copy of this Prospectus has come to light. It formed lot 147 in Messrs. Sotheby's Sale on June 29, 1916, and realized Three Guineas. The same copy was again sold in the same rooms on November 5th, 1918. It formed lot 176, and this time brought Five Pounds Fifteen Shillings. II In The Athenceum for March i^^h, 1909, pp. 316-317, is a long report of a Lecture entitled New System of Education delivered by Coleridge at the White Lion Inn, Bristol, on November lith, 1813. The report had been recovered from a file of The Bristol Gazette by Mr. Stanley Hutton, who com- municated it to The Athenceum. Ill An unauthorised edition of Coleridge's Poems, published in London in 1836, is of some interest as containing (pp. hii-lx), the full text of Coleridge's will (dated September i^th, 1829), together with the Codicil of July 2nd, 1830. An incomplete version of the will had already been printed in The Gentleman's Magazine, for December, 1834; and again in the Annual Biography and Obituary, Vol. xix, 1835, in the course of an article upon Coleridge occupying pp. 320-378. 38 COLERIDGEIANA IV The five Letters from Coleridge to Matilda Betham, noted {Bibliography, p. 289, No. 58) as having first appeared in Eraser's Magazine, 1878, were reprinted in Six Life Studies of Famotts Women, 1880, pp. 240-257, as well as in A House of Letters, 1905 [Bibliography, p. 297, No. 92]. I am not as a rule indined to record the prices of books either when offered by dealers or sold at auction. But as an exception it may be interesting to note that the late Colonel Prideaux's copy of The Plot Discovered, one of the three known examples of the pamphlet in original wrappers {Bibliography, p. 12], was sold in Messrs. Sotheby's rooms on October T,oth, 19 16, for ^20 10^. ADDITIONAL ERRATA TO THE BIBLIOGRAPHY OF COLERIDGE. Page 122, line 2. For " 1813" read " 191 3." II I93i V 3 from foot.
