EDITOR'S PREFACE.

OUR volume comprises Coleridge's "Table Talk," edited by his son-in-law in 1835, and the "Omniana" of the first volume (published in 1836) of "The Literary Remains of S. T. Coleridge," by the same editor, which includes Coleridge's contributions to Southey's "Omniana," of 1812. To the former we have been able to add some "Additional Table Talk," extracted from T. Allsop's "Letters, Conversations, and Recollections of S. T. Coleridge," 1836, by the kind permission of Allsop's representatives; and to the latter some manuscript notes, made by Coleridge in 1819, in a copy of Southey's publication now in the British Museum.

June, 1884.
