THE POETICAL AND DRAMATIC WORKS of Samuel Taylor Coleridge; With a Life of the Author. London: John Thomas c.o.x, 84 High Holborn. MDCCCx.x.xVI.

[8{o}, pp. lxxviii + 403.

The Life of the Author is followed by an Appendix containing 'Coleridge's Will', and 'Contemporary Notices of the Writings and Character of Coleridge'.

The Contents consist of the Poems published in 1797, together with 'The Nightingale'; 'Love'; 'The Ancient Mariner'; 'The Foster Mother's Tale'; four poems and seven sonnets reprinted from 1796; 'On a late Connubial Rupture'; and the 'Three Sonnets . . . in the manner of Contemporary Writers' reprinted from the _Poetical Register_. The Poems conclude with 'A Couplet, written in a volume of Poems presented by Mr. Coleridge to Dr. A.'--a highly respected friend, the loss of whose society he deeply regretted--

To meet, to know, to love--and then to part, Is the sad tale of many a human heart.

For the 'Couplet', vide _ante_, p. 410, 'To Two Sisters', ll. 1, 2. Dr.

A. was probably John Anster, LL.D., the translator of Goethe's _Faust_.
