ABSTRACT
From The Observer, Part 1st. Being a transient glance at about forty youths of Bristol Enumerating what are the prominent traits in their characters, whether they be worthy of imitation, or otherwise, published anonymously in Bristol probably in 1795. The sketch of Southey is followed by a depiction of Coleridge, whose slovenly appearance and monotonous delivery clearly produced a less favourable impression on his audiences.
