ABSTRACT
From Athenaeum, 10 February, 1849, No. 1111, 139–41. This unsigned review is attributed (Haven, 129) to Heraud (1799–1887). He was a poet, an active reviewer, and a Germanist. He had met Coleridge in 1827. The editor of the Theory of Life was Seth B. Watson, M.D. (1810–85); he seems to have received the manuscript from James Gillman, Jr, the son of Coleridge’s friend.
