[75] It is apprehended that this must be a mistake. I sent Mr. Coleridge five guineas for my Shakspeare ticket, and entertain no doubt but that some others did the same. But his remark may refer to some succeeding lectures, of which I have no distinct recollection [Cottle]. [76] A request of permission from Mr. Coleridge, to call on a few of his known friends, to see if we could not raise an annuity for him of one hundred a year, that he might pursue his literary objects without pecuniary distractions [Cottle]. [77] [Estlin.] [78] A worthy medical Friend of Bristol, who first in that city, interested himself in the establishment of infant schools [Cottle]. [79] [I include the whole of this correspondence with Cottle because fragments only have been printed in biographies of Coleridge.] [80] In Letters 132 and 133. [81] This long sentence, between brackets, was struck out by Mr. Southey, in perusing the MS., through delicacy, as it referred to himself; but on the present occasion it is restored [Cottle]. [Cottle submitted the MS. of his _Early Recollections_ to Southey before publication.] [82] ["And such a dreadful falling abroad."--_Early Recollections._] [83] [Letter CXCVII is our 158.] [84] Some supplemental lecture [Cottle.] [85] These four lines in the edition of Mr. C.'s _Poems_, published after his death, are oddly enough thrown into the _Monody on Chatterton_, and form the four opening lines. Many readers may concur with myself in thinking, that the former commencement was preferable; namely,-- "When faint and sad, o'er sorrow's desert wild, Slow journeys onward poor misfortune's child;" etc. [Cottle]. [The lines were first included in the _Monody_ in 1829.] [86] [_The Picture, or the Lover's Resolution_, 1800.] [87] [Letter CXCVIII is our 162. CXCIX follows.] [88] [Letter CC is our 163. CCI-CCIV follow.] [89] [Mr. John Mackinnon Robertson, in _New Essays towards a Critical Method_, 1897, employs this epithet to describe Coleridge.] CHAPTER XXI THE MORGANS, BRISTOL, AND CALNE
