ABSTRACT

From London and Westminster Review, March, 1840, xxxiii, 257–302. This review, signed ‘A.’, is better known in its slightly revised form in Mill’s Dissertations and Discussions (1859). The works surveyed were Table Talk (second edition, 1836), On the Constitution of the Church and State (third edition, 1839; which included the second edition of Lay Sermons), Aids to Reflection (third edition, 1836), The Friend (third edition, 1837), Biographia Literaria (1817), and James Gillman, The Life of Samuel Taylor Coleridge (Vol. i, 1838). Mill (1806–73) is said to have been introduced to Coleridge’s writings by F.D. Maurice.
