The publication of the "Wallenstein" had brought on Coleridge the odium of being an advocate of the German Theatre, at this time identified with the melo-dramatic sentimentalism of Kotzbue and his school. English opinion did not then discriminate between a Schiller and a Kotzebue. The following curious disclaimer appeared in the "Monthly Review" on 18th November 1800. LETTER 101. TO THE EDITOR OF THE "MONTHLY REVIEW". Greta Hall, Keswick, Nov. 18, 1800. In the review of my translation of Schiller's "Wallenstein" ("Rev". for October), I am numbered among the partisans of the German theatre.

Amid these literary and poetic meetings between the poets and their families, other correspondents were not forgotten by Coleridge. The following two letters to Davy indicate that the poets were taking some interest in science. LETTER 102. TO DAVY Greta Hall, Tuesday night, December 2, 1800. My dear Davy,
