EDITOR'S PREFACE.

OUR volume comprises Coleridge's "Table Talk,” edited by his son-in-law in 1835, and the “Omniana ” of the first volume (published in 1836) of “The Literary Remains of S. T. Coleridge,” by the same editor, which includes Coleridge's contributions to Southey's “ Omniana,” of 1812.

To the former we have been able to add some “Additional Table Talk,” extracted from T. Allsop's “ Letters, Conversations, and Recollections of S.T. Coleridge,” 1836, by the kind permission of Allsop's representatives; and to the latter some manuscript notes, made by Coleridge in 1819, in a copy of Southey's publication now in the British Museum.

June, 1884.
