Coleridge [fragment], 15
February 1800
*
[The following summary is provided by Ernest
Hartley Coleridge: ‘In a letter from Southey to
Coleridge, dated February 15, 1800 (unpublished),
he proposes the establishment of a Magazine with signed
articles. But a “History of the Levelling Principle,” which
Coleridge had suggested as a joint work, he would
only publish anonymously.’] [1]
