First published in Leigh Hunt’s London Journal, II, 6 June 1835, pp. 175–6; see headnote above, pp. 285–7. Hunt wrote extensively on Coleridge: cf. the different accounts in The Feast of the Poets (see Vol. 5, pp. 63–4), The Examiner (see Vol. 2, pp. 351–8), and Imagination and Fancy (see Vol. 4, pp. 92–9). In his 1831 Tatler review of Alfred Tennyson, he referred to ‘Mr Wordsworth and Mr Coleridge’ as ‘the first poets of the day’ (see above, p. 154).
