Note 988:1 — FRAGMENTS FROM A NOTEBOOK[988:1]

One of the earliest of Coleridge's Notebooks, which fell into the hands of his old schoolfellow, John Mathew Gutch, the printer and proprietor of Felix Farley's Bristol Journal, was purchased by the Trustees of the British Museum in 1868, and is now included in Add. MSS. as No. 27901. The fragments of verse contained in the notebook are included in P. W. 1893, pp. 453-8. The notebook as a whole was published by Professor A. Brandl in 1896 (S. T. Coleridge's Notizbuch aus den Jahren 1795-1798). Nineteen entries are included by H. N. Coleridge in Poems and Poetical Fragments published in Literary Remains, 1836, i. 277-80.
