Notes
Dr. Brabant was an English physician in Devizes who also had an interest in German Higher Criticism. Coleridge was a patient of Dr. Brabant during the years he lived in Calne.
The letters were originally accompanied by short summaries in the hand of Ernest Hartley Coleridge. These summaries have been removed and are housed in the Collection File.
This collection, MA 1854, is comprised of ten autograph letters signed from Samuel Taylor Coleridge to R.H. Brabant with four pages undated and unsigned pages of notes and one fragment of an autograph letter signed from Coleridge to Brabant. The letters are written from March 10, 1815 through December 5, 1816.
These letters are from the Joanna Langlais Collection, a large collection of letters written by Samuel Taylor Coleridge to various recipients. The collection has been divided into subsets, based primarily on Coleridge's addressees, and these sub-collections have been cataloged individually as MA 1848- MA 1857.
