Summary
Concerning the attribution of authorship of a poem to Coleridge; saying it is not Samuel Taylor Coleridge, "...but taken out of one of the introductions to Anderson's British Poets. I will try & get the reference. Is it not in one of Hutchinson's books?...The reference [illegible] in the sly allusion is no doubt to Sir J. Mackintosh - 'Here are things which you would never understand'."
