    First Edition, Uncommon

    Edited by his daughter Sara, Coleridge aproaches a great deal of subjects in his essays, ranging from Irish national character to the French constitution. Here, we see Coleridge as the academic, essayist and critic, as opposed to the usual Romantic poems for which he found fame. Includes ink inscription to title page signed by one C. Morgan.
