[3] I find in a Catalogue of English Poetry, 1862, the following passage from an autograph letter of S. T. Coleridge, dated Bristol, July 16, 1814, then in Mr. Pickering’s possession: “I looked over the first five books of the first (quarto) edition of _Joan of Arc_ yesterday, at Hood’s request, in order to mark the lines written by me. I was really astonished—1, at the schoolboy, wretched allegoric machinery; 2, at the transmogrification of the fanatic Virago into a modern Novel-pawing proselyte of the Age of Reason, a Tom Paine in petticoats, but so lovely! and in love more dear! ‘_On her rubied cheek hung pity’s crystal gem_;’ 3, at the utter want of all rhythm in the verse, the monotony and the dead plumb down of the pauses, and of the absence of all bone, muscle, and sinew in the single lines.” [4] See Southey’s article on “Dr. Sayers’s Works,” _Quarterly Review_, January, 1827.

[8] _I. e._, to go to Davies’ lodgings; Davies, Dr. Bell’s Secretary, was engaged in arranging a vast accumulation of papers with a view to forwarding Southey in his _Life of Bell_. [9] The words quoted by Southey are his own, written in 1809. [10] “With the Cape and New Holland I would proceed thus:—‘Govern yourselves, and we will protect you as long as you need protection; when that is no longer necessary, remember that though we be different countries, each independent, we are one people.’”—R. S. to W. S. Landor. Letters, vol. ii. p. 263. [11] Sara Coleridge. [12] Mrs. Wilson—then aged seventy-two. [13] To certain false allegations of fact made by Byron, Southey replied in _The Courier_, and reprinted his letters in _Essays, Moral and Political_, vol. ii. pp. 183-205.
