Summary
Asking him to frank a letter he has enclosed to Mrs. Coleridge at Keswick; adding that he will send him the corrected proofs of his introductory essay to the Science of Correspondences; saying "I say introductory because in the exposition of Noumena * Phaenomena (* is my notation for 'in antithesis to') as a Principle of Logic it is shewn, that in the very mechanism and [con]stitutional forms of the Understanding the mind is framed and predispo[sed] for the Science. All real science is mythological;" concluding with a phrase in Greek.
