Samuel Taylor Coleridge: A Biographical Study (1938), p. 309.

See Unpublished Letters of Samuel Taylor Coleridge, ed. E. L. Griggs (1932), nos. 316, 346; Letters of Samuel Taylor Coleridge, ed. E. H. Coleridge (1895), II, 739-740.

See the essay as printed in The Complete Works, ed. Shedd (1854), IV, 347. Citations throughout are to this edition, the most widely available printing of the lecture.

Information about Anster's movements gleaned from reference to Thomas Allsop's Letters, Conversations, and Recollections, 1st ed. (1836), pp. 128, 161, 207, proves to be of no avail in fixing a date for this inscription, and Boyle's Court and Country Guide for April 1820 does not list 30 Thornhaugh Street, Bedford Square.

Professor Kathleen Coburn kindly identified Green's hand for me.

See Unpublished Letters, no. 317. The dating of this letter is problematic, but Professor Griggs has kindly informed me that in the Collected Letters it is appearing as "[1820]," which indeed is the date most nearly corresponding to the other events connected with Coleridge's request.

Duke MS, fol. 11. In quoting the MS, I have expanded abbreviations and corrected obvious pointing blunders, but otherwise Green's work appears here as it stands.

"Subject" is a word used repeatedly by Coleridge in this context. For instance, it occurs again at fol. 12, l. 10.

See his statement in the same letter quoted above.

Poems by Hartley Coleridge, II, 280. See Chambers, p. 303.

Works, p. 365. In the Duke MS, the passage occurs on foll. 12v and 13.

In fact, in the course of our correspondence on the essay Professor George Whalley has recently informed me that he has found external evidence contradicting Wise's statements and confirming the conclusions about the printing of the lecture which are offered here. See his "The Publication of Coleridge's 'Prometheus' Essay," Notes & Queries, n.s., XVI (February, 1969), 52-55.

I have collated these very rare books through xerox photographs of the "Private Edition" in the Yale University Library and of the University of North Carolina copy of the Transactions. Observation leads one to the conclusion that the xerox process does not corrupt the kind of evidence cited here.
