IntroductionPrefatory Note The text of the poems in this volume is that of J. Dykes Campbell in the Globe edition of Coleridge’s poems. For the introduction I have depended also largely upon his Memoir of Coleridge, and upon the two volumes of the “Letters of Samuel Taylor Coleridge,” edited by the poet’s grandson, Mr. E.H. Coleridge. In the Notes, as will be seen, I am indebted particularly to the general editor of this series, Dr. F.H. Sykes, to Dr. Lane Cooper of Cornell University, and again to Mr. Coleridge, through whose kindness I have been able to get a reproduction of the Marshmills crayon, undoubtedly the most satisfactory portrait of the poet in existence, for the frontispiece. -H.M.B.
