_appreciable_ monument could be raised to the memory of Coleridge than a republication of his essays in the "Morning Post," and afterwards in the "Courier." And here, by the way, it may be mentioned that the sagacity of Coleridge, as applied to the signs of the times, is illustrated by this fact, that distinctly and solemnly he foretold the restoration of the Bourbons, at a period when most people viewed such an event as the most romantic of visions, and not less chimerical than that "march upon Paris" of Lord Hawkesbury's which for so many years supplied a theme of laughter to the Whigs. [71] He left Malta 27th September 1805.--M. [72] Coleridge had long been a contributor to the _Morning Post_.--M. [73] _Paris Revisited in 1815 by way of Brussels_ is the title of this publication in 1816 of the Aberdonian John Scott. He had previously published _A Visit to Paris in 1814_. He wrote other things, and was editor of the _London Magazine_ from January 1820 till his death, February 1821, the result of a duel.--M. Why Coleridge left Malta, is as difficult to explain upon any principles of ordinary business, as why he had ever gone thither. The post of secretary, if it imposed any official attendance of a regular kind, or any official correspondence, must have been but poorly filled by _him_; and Sir Alexander Ball, if I have collected his character justly, was not likely to accept the gorgeous philosophy of Coleridge as an indemnification for irregular performance of his public duties. Perhaps, therefore, though on the best terms of mutual regard, mutually they might be pleased to part. Part they did, at any rate, and poor Coleridge was sea-sick the whole of his homeward (as he had been through the whole of his outward) voyage. * * * * *
