Select Who's Who

These brief notes are intended to amplify references in the Chron• ology, particularly to individuals not in the public domain. The well-known figures of Wordsworth, Lamb, Southey, Byron, De Quincey and Hazlitt are excluded, as are and , since information about them is readily available elsewhere.

Adams, Dr Joseph (1756-1818), physician and editor of the Medical and Physical Journal, published a book on cancer in 1795. In 1805 he became physician to the Smallpox Hospital in London. He recom• mended STC to the care of James Gillman in 1816.

Aders, Mr and Mrs Charles Mr Aders was a wealthy German mer• chant who lived in Euston Square and owned valuable paintings. STC met him during the Highgate years. Mrs Aders, nee Eliza Smith, was a daughter of John Raphael Smith, painter and engraver. STC addressed his poem The Two Founts' to her. The Aders' home housed a fine collection of Italian, early Flemish and German paint• ings. Samuel Palmer visited in the 1820s, as did , who wrote a poem describing it as a chapel.

Allen Robert (1772-1805), known as 'Bob Allen', was an army sur• geon and journalist. He was at Christ's Hospital with STC, and went on as a sizar to University College, Oxford, where STC visited him in 1794; Allen introduced him of Balliol. He became inter• ested in , but defected by the end of the year. STC wrote in his defence to Southey, 'He did never promise to form one of our party' (Letters, !. 146). He later married a widow with daughters as old as himself. STC sent him money when he was in great financial distress in 1796, commenting that Allen had sent him food and wept over him during his time in the army (Letters, 1. 265). Under the influence of Godwin he became an atheist. He died of apoplexy while STC was in Malta; told of his death, STC sank into melancholy. Lamb refers to his 'happy laugh and handsome face'. There is a story about his good looks in Leigh Hunt's Autobiography (1850, ch. 3).

161 162 A Coleridge Chronology

Allsop, Thomas (1795-1880), began as a silk-merchant and eventu• ally became a rich stockbroker. He met STC in 1818 at Highgate, where, in his own words, he was STC's 'favourite disciple'. He fell into temporary financial difficulties in 1827 and saw little of STC thereafter. In 1836 he published Letters, Conversations and Recollec• tions of Coleridge, which contains good stories of Lamb but is unreli• able about STC.

Allston, Washington (1779-1843) was an American historical painter and poet. STC met him in Rome on his way back from Malta in 1805. Later he came to London and painted STC's portrait, now in the National Portrait Gallery. He was a friend of WW and Southey too. His best-known paintings are 'Jacob's Dream' and 'Uriel in the Sun'.

Ball, Sir Alexander (1757-1809) was a distinguished naval figure who forced the capitulation of the French at Malta in 1800 after a two-year blockade. He became the first Governor of Malta and died there. STC was delighted to have the benefit of his society and to work for him.

Banks, Sir Joseph (1743-1820), a great Lincolnshire figure: explorer, naturalist, President of the Royal Society. STC applied to him in 1803 for Indian hemp ('bang') to help alleviate the sufferings of Thomas Wedgwood.

Barbauld, Anna Letitia (1743-1825) was a poet, author of books for children and miscellaneous writer who supported radical causes. STC met her in in 1797 and at first admired her work and her ability to keep 'within the bounds of practical Reason', which he felt he could not do (Letters, I. 578). However, in a lecture in January 1812 he is reported by HCR to have criticised her poetry.

Beaumont, Sir George Howland (1753-1827) was a patron of the arts and landscape painter. He lived at Coleorton, Leicestershire (he lent his house to WW in 1806) and in Grosvenor Square, London. On first meeting, he took a dislike to STC, but then lodged next door to him at Keswick and fell under his spell. He offered WW land at Applethwaite in the to be near his friend. He helped STC to establish the Friend and, in later life, procure a pension. He was largely responsible for establishing the National Gallery. In his Select Who's Who 163 last years he may have become disillusioned with STC, as in his will he left Mrs C £50 and STC nothing (but see next entry).

Beaumont, Margaret, Lady (nee Willes) (7-1829) married Sir George Beaumont in 1778. 'She is a deep enthusiast, sensitive, trembles and cannot keep the tears in her eye ... you may wind her up with any music' (STC in letter to WW, 1803). In her will she left STC £50.

Beddoes, Dr Thomas (1760-1808) was a physician. He set up the Pneumatic Institute at Clifton, Bristol (where he employed the young Humphrey Davy). A convinced radical, he wrote anti-Pitt pam• phlets. He supported STC in founding the Watchman, and corre• sponded with him about opium addiction. His sudden death upset STC greatly: 'Dr Beddoes' death has taken more Hope out of my Life, than any event I can remember' (letter to Montagu, 1819).

Betham, Mary Mathilda (1776-1852), a miniature painter, painted Mrs C and daughter Sara. STC wrote a poem to her, dated 9 September 1802.

Bowles, William Lisle (1762-1850) was a poet, divine and anti• quary. STC was greatly influenced by his Sonnets (1789) while he was at Christ's Hospital. He was in turn Rector of Chicklade, Wilt• shire, and of Dumbleton, Gloucestershire, then Vicar of Bremhill, Wiltshire, where he constructed his well-known garden. STC even• tually made his acquaintance and stayed with him at Bremhill, writ• ing comments on Bowles's poetry, during his year with the Morgans at CaIne in 1815.

Bowyer, Reverend James (also spelt Boyer) (1736-1814) was Upper Master at Christ's Hospital. He had been educated there and at Balliol. There is a detailed description of him in Lamb's 'Christ's Hospital Five-and-thirty Years Ago' in Essays of Elia, and STC also sketched his character in BL (Biographical Supplement). He kept a Liber Aureus of boys' work he admired; STC appears in it several times. Despite his severity, STC wrote gratefully of him in BL.

Buller, Francis (later Sir Francis) (1746-1800) was the third son of James (below), a pupil of John Coleridge, and boarded with the family at Ottery. He became the youngest-ever judge in 1778 at the 164 A Coleridge Chronology age of 32. As Judge Buller, he procured for STC a Presentation at Christ's Hospital.

Buller, James, of Downes, near Crediton, Devon, is supposed to have been the 'kind gentleman' who befriended John Coleridge on his father's bankruptcy and set him up as a schoolmaster. He settled eventually at Morval in Cornwall.

Burnett, George (1776-1811), the son of a well-to-do Somerset farmer, was refused by Martha Fricker. He was deeply committed to Pantisocracy and became its 'waif'. He could not settle to any profes• sion, becoming Unitarian minister, army surgeon, hack writer. John Rickman (q.v.) gave him work on the census. He took to opium, and later abused STC and Southey as the cause of his downfall. He died miserably in the workhouse in Marylebone at the age of 35.

Caldwell, George was STCs 'earliest friend' at Jesus College, Cam• bridge. Later, he became a Fellow and Tutor at Jesus. He was still in touch with STC in 1813.

Cary, Henry Francis (1772-1844), scholar and translator, who trans• lated The Divine Comedy in 1814. It was highly praised by STC, who persuaded Taylor and Hessey to publish a second edition in 1819. He met STC at Littlehampton in 1817 and became a friend.

Carlyon, Clement, MD (1777-1864), an English physician and travel• ler, met STC in Hanover in 1799 and travelled in his party on the expedition to the Brocken. He accompanied him as far as Brunswick on his way home. Later, he and George Greenhough (q.v.) published their own account of the trip. He published four volumes of Early Years and Late Reflections (1836-58), which are valuable for their insights into STC, Humphrey Davy and others.

Chester, John, was a farmer from . A great admirer of STC, he was his companion on the trip to Germany (1798) and studied German agriculture on the journey.

Clarkson, Catherine (nee Buck) (1772-1856) was a childhood friend of Crabb Robinson, whom he introduced to STC, CL and WW. She married Thomas Clarkson (see next entry). One of DW's closest friends, she was also for a time very close to STC, who thought of her Select Who's Who 165 in 1811 as a twin sister: 'She has all that is good in me, and all that is innocent' (Letter to HCR, 12 March 1811). However, she became embroiled in the quarrel with WW, grew disillusioned with STC after attempting in vain to persuade him to return north and seems to have faded from his life after 1813.

Clarkson, Thomas (1760-1846), reformer and vice-president of the Anti-slavery Society, lived at Eusemere near Penrith. He and his wife (see previous entry) moved to Bury St Edmunds in 1807. STC was a visitor there after his return from Malta.

Coleridge, David Hartley (1796-1849) was STC's first child. Adored by his father in childhood, he was written about by both STC and WW. Unworldly and vulnerable, he won a Fellowship to Oxford but lost it through drunken behaviour. He tried journalism and then became a schoolmaster in Ambleside, but for the last years of his life was something of a vagrant. In 1833 he published Biographia Borealis (lives of northern worthies) and Sonnets, and in 1840 editions of Massinger and Ford. He did not see his father for the last ten years of the latter's life. Befriended from childhood by the WWs, he is buried beside them at .

Coleridge, Derwent (1800-83), the second son of STC, was very talented (particularly in languages) but was more balanced and capable than his brother Hartley (see entry above). In 1820, after a long wait, he eventually went to St John's, Cambridge, thanks to the generosity of some of STC's friends, particularly John Hookham Frere. After a period of atheism, he was ordained in 1825, happily married to Mary Pridham, and settled at Helston, Cornwall as a schoolmaster. In 1841 he became the first principal of St Mark's College, Chelsea. He edited Hartley's Poems and Essays after his death, and added a memoir (1849). After the death of his sister Sara (q.v.) he took over the editing of his father's works.

Coleridge, Edward (1800-83) was the youngest son of STC's eldest brother, James. He became a fellow of Eton and a regular visitor to STC at Highgate. With his brother (q.v.) he represented the family at STC's funeral.

Coleridge, Henry Nelson (1798-1843), a son of STC's eldest brother, James, was a barrister and author. He wrote Six Months in the West 166 A Coleridge Chronology

Indies in 1825, and married STC's daughter Sara (q.v.) in 1829 after a long engagement. He recorded STC's Table Talk at Highgate. With his brother Edward he represented the family at STC's funeral, and was STC's literary executor, editing his father-in-law's works until his early death, when his wife took up the task.

Coleridge, John Taylor (1790-1876), the eldest son of STC's eldest brother, James, was a frequent visitor to STC at Highgate. He be• came a judge. His eldest son, John Duke Coleridge, was Lord Chief Justice and became the first Baron Coleridge.

Coleridge, Sara (nee Fricker) (1770-1845) married STC in 1795. She bore him four children: David Hartley (1796-1849, q.v.), Berkeley (1798-1799), Derwent (1800-83, q.v.) and Sara (1802-52, q.v.), and coped with his frequent absences and their eventual separation with relative equanimity. When Southey moved into Greta Hall during STC's absence in Malta in 1804 she became part of his household. She spent her last years in the London home of her daughter Sara and son-in-law Henry Nelson Coleridge (q.v.). Her confidant and support was Thomas Poole. Her letters to him, which convey the flavour of her life as STC's wife, are published as Minnow Among Tritons (ed. Stephen Potter). STC was proud to stand with her in 1832 at the christening of their grandchild, Edith: he respected her but could not live with her. (See also Fricker family.)

Coleridge, Sara (1802-52) was STC's only daughter; a sylph-like creature as a child, a scholar as an adult. Brought up by her uncle, , she married her cousin, Henry Nelson Coleridge (q.v.) in 1829. She published: Account of the Abipones, translated from the Latin (1822); a translation of Memoirs of the Chevalier Bayard (1825); Pretty Lessons in Verse for Good Children (1834); and Phantasmion (1837). There are many testaments to her saintly character.

Coleridge, William Hart (1789-1849), the only child of STC's brother, Luke, saw much of STC during the Highgate years, but STC felt he did not do enough to help (q.v.) to a curacy. He became Bishop of Barbados and took his cousin Henry Nelson Coleridge (q.v.) on a visit there in 1825. He held the post very suc• cessfully for 16 years and died in Salston, near Ottery St Mary. Select Who's Who 167

Cottle, Joseph (1770-1853) was a publisher in Bristol and a Unitar• ian. He was the brother of Amos Cottle, the antiquarian. His finan• cial backing helped launch both STC and Southey and ensured that neither took up professions which would distract them from poetry. However, he and his brother Amos were the victims of the mockery of STC and his friends. Good-natured and simple-hearted, he was among the last to recognise STC's opium addiction. In 1814, when he did at last understand the problem, he tried to raise money from STC's supporters for a cure. When, in answer to a begging letter in 1815, he sent only £5, STC never wrote to him again. He published Early Recollections (1837) and Reminiscences of Coleridge and Southey (1847). Both are full of inaccuracies and exaggerate Cottle's own importance - but Kathleen Coburn feels he has been for too long the victim of critical snobbery and deserves to be revalued.

Cruikshank, John was a friend of STC in Nether Stowey and land agent to Lord Egremont. He became treasurer of the group which supported STC with £35-40 a year after the collapse of the Watch• man. In the early days at Stowey the Coleridges often visited the young Cruikshank family who had a little girl of Hartley'S age.

Davy, Humphrey (later Sir Humphrey) (1778-1829), chemist, science lecturer and poet, went to Bristol in 1798 to work for Dr Beddoes (q.v.) at the Pneumatic Institute and met STC there. 'I never met such an extraordinary young man', said STC. Later, he arranged for STC to give lectures at the Royal Institution in London. In 1820 he suc• ceeded Sir Joseph Banks (q.v.) as President of the Royal Society.

Dawe, George (1781-1829), portrait painter and mezzotint engraver, painted STC (and Godwin, Wellington et al.). He visited STC in the Lake District in 1812. He was a modest man; STC did not think much of his talents.

Dyer, George (1755-1841) was an eccentric poet and scholar. With CL, he provides one of the few links between STC's early and later life. Older than STC at Christ's Hospital, they met for the first time in London. He was interested in Pantisocracy. After the failure of the Watchman, he volunteered to payoff the outstanding printer's bills (£80 or £90). STC invited him to the Thursday evening Highgate gatherings. 'GO's character - moral (not intellectual). Truth and benevolence struggling' (Notebooks, I. 487). 168 A Coleridge Chronology

Estlin, John Prior (1747-1817), a Unitarian minister and schoolmas• ter in Bristol, met STC there c.1795. He replaced John Cruikshank (q.v.) as treasurer of the fund set up to help STC after the Watchman closed. An eminent teacher and 'fine generous character', he was awarded an honorary degree from Glasgow University in 1807. He attended STC's lectures in Bristol in 1814 and quarrelled with him over a description of Satan in Paradise Lost.

Evans family Mrs Evans, a widow, lived with her children, Mary, Ann, Elizabeth and Torn, in Villiers Street, off the Strand, in London. Torn was befriended by STC, his senior, when he went to Christ's Hospital, and STC was in his turn befriended by the Evans family when he began to visit them c.1788. Mrs Evans acted as a mother• substitute and he fell in love with Mary. He did not dare declare his love till it was too late (see December 1794). Mary married Fryer Todd in October 1795 and was as unhappy in her marriage as STC in his. They met again briefly in 1808. Tom became a clerk in East India House.

Field, Reverend Matthew (1748-96) was Master of the Lower School at Christ's Hospital, and went on to Pembroke College, Cambridge, as a Fellow. Lamb and Leigh Hunt both describe him as easy-going and incompetent.

Frend, Reverend William (1757-1841), a tutor at Jesus College, Cam• bridge; mathematician, Unitarian and radical, was a great influence on the students, including STC. He was tried for blasphemy in 1794 and dismissed from the College.

Frere, John "ookham (1769-1846) was a diplomat and translator who became one of STC's close friends during the Highgate days, when they used to dine together at Blake's Hotel. He worked to procure a sinecure for STC in 1827; when this failed, he made him an annual gift of money so that he could take a holiday. STC spoke admiringly of him during his last years and in his will left notes of esteem to WW, RS and Frere. The will also describes Frere as, of all the men STC had known, the sweetest and kindest.

Fricker family The father was a Bristol manufacturer who died bankrupt in 1786, leaving his wife and six children (see entries below) penniless. Mrs Fricker set up a dress shop. Select Who's Who 169

Fricker, Edith (1774-1837), a milliner, married Robert Southey in 1795. She lived at Greta Hall during STC's absence from 1804, but died insane.

Fricker, Eliza (1778-1868) was just a schoolgirl during the Pantisocratic years. She later had an affair with a sea captain and went to live on the Isle of Man.

Fricker, George (1785-1813) was generally regarded as a ne'er-do• well. Before going to Malta STC tried to find him a job. He later helped STC retrieve his papers from Customs after the Malta trip.

Fricker, Martha (1777-1850) rejected George Burnett's offer of mar• riage. She was a witness at STC's wedding. He always preferred her to her sisters and visited her when she was a struggling mantua• maker in London. She spent her last years with her sister Eliza on the Isle of Man. STC's daughter Sara described her and her sister Eliza as admirable women, earning their own living all their lives.

Fricker, Mary (1771-?1871), an actress, married Robert Lovell (q.v.) in 1794; after his early death in 1796 she was first looked after by STC and then in 1804 moved into Greta Hall with the Southeys during STC's absence in Malta. STC always found her a trial. She lived into her nineties.

Fricker, Sara see Coleridge, Sara (1770-1845).

Gillman, Dr James (1792-1839), a medical practitioner in Highgate, took STC into his house as a paying patient in 1816 and attempted to cure him of opium addiction. He and his wife looked after him loyally until his death eighteen years later. They built him a study and allowed him to set up the Thursday evenings' of conversation in their home. In return STC helped their sons James and Henry with their education and subsequent careers. STC praised them in his will and left them gifts. Gillman published a fairly inaccurate first vol• ume of a Life of Coleridge in 1838 but died before he could complete the second volume.

Godwin, William (1756-1836), novelist, political philosopher and biographer, was the husband of by whom he had a daughter Mary (later Mary Shelley). He met STC in London in 170 A Coleridge Chronology

December 1799. They influenced each other's thinking over the years: STC modified his convictions towards theism; G said that STC had led him to a new appreciation of divinity in all its forms.

Green, Dr Joseph Henry (1791-1863) was Professor of Anatomy at the Royal Academy. STC made his acquaintance at Highgate. They used to dine together in Lincoln's Inn Fields. In 1818 he undertook to pay STC's annual insurance premium. He attended STC in his last illness: STC summoned him to his deathbed in order 'to leave you with the sole Depositorium of my mind'. G stayed with him during the night that he died, and in his will STC left G his property (his insurance policy worth £2560) and publishing rights in his manu• scripts and letters, in trust for Mrs C and their children. G worked on STC's Opus Maximum for the rest of his life, but was not able to produce a coherent whole from the fragments. Gillman (q.v.) dedi• cated to Green his Life of STC.

Greenhough, George Bellas (1778-1855) was a geographer and ge• ologist and an English traveller in Germany who met STC in Hano• ver in 1799. Later he and Clement Carlyon (q.v.) wrote reminiscences of their travels with STC. He met STC again in London while the latter awaited a ship for Malta in 1804. Later G became President of the Royal Geological Society.

GUlch, John Matthew (1776-1861) was at Christ's Hospital with STC. He moved to Bristol in 1803 where he became a journalist (he edited Felix Farley's Bristol Journal), a bookseller and a banker. With other former Christ's Hospital pupils he contributed to buying the manuscripts of the Friend in 1815. With William Hood (q.v.) he pub• lished two volumes of STC's poems in 1817. There were disputes with the author about overcharging. Later he published STC's Essays and the first part of BL. He preserved the notebook STC bought on arrival in Bristol in 1795 - hence it is known as the 'Gutch Notebook'.

Hamilton, Anthony was educated at St John's College, Cambridge. He met STC in Gottingen and took him to a German social club, the Saturday Club - much to STC's astonishment. On his return to England he took to the Wedgwoods, at STC's request, a commis• sioned pastel portrait of STC by a local Gottingen artist. Select Who's Who 171

Hood, William, a friend of STC's from Bristol days, published with J. M. Gutch (q.v.), two volumes of STC's poetry in 1815.

Hucks, Joseph, an undergraduate of Cambridge University, accom• panied STC on his walking tour of Wales in 1794. 'A man of culti• vated, tho' not vigorous understanding', said STC. H later published A Pedestrian Tour in North Wales (1795) and a volume of poems (including one to STC) in 1798.

Hutchinson family consisted of the nine orphaned children of a farmer in County Durham (another child died in infancy). When STC first met them in 1799 they were living at Sockburn Hall Farm on a bend of the River Tees, the girls housekeeping for their brothers. This pattern continued throughout their lives, the family closeness being preserved by frequent visits. In addition to the children de• tailed in the entries below there were also: Elizabeth (1776-1832), Joanna (1780-1843) and William (1783-5).

Hutchinson, George (1778-1864) left Sockburn in 1800 for a new farm at Bishop Middleham, near Durham. STC visited him there with Sara H.

Hutchinson, Henry (1769-1834) was pressganged in 1818. STC worked for his release.

Hutchinson, John (1768-1833) was a businessman.

Hutchinson, Margaret (Peggy) (1772-96) may have been WW's Lucy.

Hutchinson, Mary (1770-1859) was at school at Penrith with DW; they became close friends. She married WW in 1802.

Hutchinson, Sara (1775-1835) was STC's 'Asra'. Her unconsum• mated love-affair with him developed until the collapse of the Friend in 1810. After this she left for her brother Thomas's (q.v.) new farm in North Wales. STC'squarrel with the WWsin 1811 meant that, on her return, although she spent much of the rest of her life with the WWs, she saw little of STC. There may have been plans for her to marry WW's brother John (q.v.). She died unmarried. 172 A Coleridge Chronology

Hutchinson, Thomas (1773-1849) left Sockburn in 1800 for a new farm at Gallow Hill, near Scarborough. STC visited him there with Sara H. In 1810 he moved to Hindwell Farm, Radnorshire, North Wales, with his cousin, John Monkhouse (q.v.).

Klopstock, Friedrich Gottlieb (1724-1803) was a German poet and author of patriotic odes who introduced Shakespeare and Old Nor• dic and Celtic poets into the German Revival. STC thought of him as the father of German poetry, but when he and WW met him on their German tour in Hamburg in 1799 he found him 'disappointing'.

Le Grice, Charles Valentine (1773-1858) was a contemporary of STC at Christ's Hospital; they became friends at Cambridge (Le Grice was at Trinity College). He has left descriptions of eve• nings with STC discussing Burke's pamphlets and contemporary political events. He became a clergyman and settled in Penzance. In 1833 he met STC again at the British Association meeting in Cambridge and wrote an account of his sayings there. He published 'College Reminiscences' of STC and Lamb in the Gentleman's Maga• zine in 1833 and 1834.

Lloyd, Charles (1775-1839), a poet, stayed with STC and his family at Nether Stowey until his epileptic attacks made this impossible. He became estranged from STC after the publication of Edmund Oliver (1788) in which the central character is a cruel parody of his friend. After his marriage he moved to Ambleside and remained in touch with the WWs. A superficial reconciliation was affected with STC. L later went to France, where he died insane.

Longman, Thomas Norton (1771-1842) was a publisher. The pub• lishing house of (q.v.) was bought by Longman and Rees c.1800 who thereby became the owners of the copyright of . Longman, not considering them valuable, presented the copyright to Cottle, who in turn returned it to WW. Longman published the third edition of STC's Poems in 1803.

Lovell, Robert (1770-96) was a poet from a Bristol Quaker family. He was at Balliol with Southey and became one of the Pantiosocratic group. He married Mary Fricker (q.v.) in 1794 and in the same year published poems with RS. He disapproved of STC's marriage to Sara Fricker (q.v.). He contributed to the Watchman and seemed destined Select Who's Who 173 for a successful career as a writer, but died of a fever at the age of 26, leaving a widow and child. Mrs Lovell later moved into Greta Hall with the Southeys.

Mackintosh, Sir James (1765-1832) was a lawyer and a London Scot. After the death of his first wife, the sister of Daniel Stuart (q.v.), he married a Wedgwood. He met STC through the Wedgwoods at Cote House near Bristol (home of John Wedgwood, brother of Josiah and Thomas); and beat STC in debate. A writer on philosophical matters, like STC he moved away from the early Radicalism. He visited Greta Hall. STC, always wary of him, found him 'without emotions'.

Middleton, Thomas Fanshawe (1769-1822) was a senior boy at Christ's Hospital. He introduced STC 's Sonnets and is supposed to have brought STC to the notice of Bowyer. Later, he went to Pembroke, Cambridge, where he failed to get a Fellowship, but became a clergyman, an editor and a poet and eventually Bishop of Calcutta. Gillman describes him as STC's 'Pole Star' in school. A Coleridge Memorial Prize, still awarded at Christ's Hospital, con• sists of a statuette of STC, Lamb and Middleton.

Monkhouse, John, was a cousin of the Hutchinsons. He was a farmer, and in 1810 went to Wales to share a farm with Tom Hutchinson (q.v.) at Hindwell in Radnorshire. Sara H (q.v.) accompa• nied him. By 1814 he was widowed and living with his married sister.

Monkhouse, Thomas (1783-1875), the brother of John (see above) and a cousin of the Hutchinsons (qq.v.), was a London merchant who lived at 34 Gloucester Place. He was famous for his literary dinners. At one particularly memorable one, on 4 April 1823, STC, WW, Lamb, Rogers and HCR were present and STC was 'in his finest vein of talk'. Mary Lamb referred to TM's daughter as 'a very pleasing girl', 'rather like Sara Hutchinson'. TM declined in health in 1824, went to Torquay, then to Clifton, where he died on 26 February 1825.

Montagu, Basil (1770-1851), barrister and author, was called to the Bar in May 1798. He was a friend of WW, through whom he met STC, probably in 1797. He married three times, the third time in 1808, and in 1810 precipitated the quarrel between STC and WW by indiscreet remarks. Later he and STC were reconciled and he visited 174 A Coleridge Chronology

STC several times at Highgate (introducing Thomas Carlyle to him). STC left him a mourning ring in his will.

Morgan, John James (?1775-1820) was a school friend of Southey at Williams' School in Bristol. He came from a Unitarian family and met STC in early Bristol days. In 1810 he came to his rescue after the quarrel with WW, and thereafter stood by him during the worst stages of his opium addiction. STC lived for 18 months with the Morgan family at Ashley, near Bath, and then CaIne, in Wiltshire, from 1814. John had become bankrupt in 1813. RS, CL and other friends raised an annuity for his benefit but he was soon in financial trouble again. He died after a stroke in 1820. STC and other friends continued to help his widow, Mary, and unmarried sister-in-law, Charlotte Brent.

Moxon, Edward (1801-58) was a publisher and poet. Samuel Rogers (q.v.), the banker-poet, helped to set him up in business with a loan of £500. In 1830 he published Charles Lamb, then STC and later Tennyson and Browning.

Murray, John (1778-1843) was a publisher who was involved with the Edinburgh Review, and then set up the Quarterly Review on Tory principles, in opposition to it. He maintained a close publishing association with Byron, on whose recommendation he published '' in 1816. A rift with STC in 1817 over the publishing rights to was never properly healed.

Parry, Charles and Frederick, were brothers of the Arctic explorer Sir William Parry. STC met them in Gottingen on the German tour in 1798. Their father was a famous physician, Caleb Hillier Parry. In 1814 he treated STC in Bath for the consequences of opium addiction.

Pinney, John was a rich Bristol sugar merchant. He and his brother Azariah became friends of the WWs; STC and WW first met at his house, 7 Great George Street, Bristol, in September 1795. He let Racedown in Dorset rent-free to WW, which caused trouble when his father found out. WW had to move on to Alfoxden in 1797. When planning to winter abroad (1801-2), STC at first considered borrow• ing the Pinney house at Nevis in the West Indies. Select Who's Who 175

Poole, Thomas (1765-1837) was a well-to-do tanner of Nether Stowey. STC took Southey to meet him in July 1794. He supported STC thereafter at every stage of his life; he found him a cottage at Stowey adjoining his own garden, helped financially with the Watchman and the Friend, contributed to Hartley's education and wrote regularly to Mrs C. In his will STC left a mourning ring to Poole. See Thomas Poole and His Friends, by Mrs Henry Sandford, 2 vols, London: Macmillan, 1888.

Priestley, Joseph (1733-1804) was the scientist who discovered oxy• gen. A Birmingham Unitarian minister, his house was burnt down by the mob because he had welcomed the Fall of the Bastille. In 1773 he moved to Caine, Wiltshire, where he was librarian to Lord Shelburne (later first Marquis of Lansdowne) at Bowood and tutor to his sons. He remained there until 1780, when he returned to Bir• mingham. A dissenter, he emigrated to America in 1794. Southey and STC hoped for support from him for Pantisocracy. STC wrote a sonnet about him for the Morning Chronicle in 1794.

Rickman, John (1771-1840), a Parliamentary official, was a friend of Southey. He was secretary to the Speaker of the House of Commons, then promoted to second clerk assistant and eventually, in 1820, to chief clerk, a post he held until his death. STC met him at the Lambs' in 1803. He helped George Burnett, and was tolerant of STC's weak• nesses: STC thought him 'a sterling man'.

Robinson, Henry Crabb (1775-1867) was a barrister and diarist. He was introduced to STC by his childhood friend Catherine Clarkson in London c.181O, and in 1812 helped to bring about a reconciliation between STC and WW after their quarrel. He gave many full ac• counts of STC, Lamb and the rest in his diaries; for example, of the famous dinner on 4 April 1823 at Thomas Monkhouse's (q.v.). STC saw him often during the Highgate years.

Robinson, Mary (Perdita) (1758-1800), an actress and fashionable beauty, was once mistress of the Prince Regent. She was one of STC's favourite 'literary ladies' in London from 1800. Perhaps her experi• ence of opium may have influenced him. A few weeks before her death STC sent her'A Stranger Minstrel'. 176 A Coleridge Chronology

Rogers, Samuel (1763-1855) was a poet and banker who helped to set up Edward Moxon, the publisher (q.v.). He met STC c.1801 at Grasmere and later helped him by talking to the Prime Minister about a pension. STC seems to have had little respect for him or for his work.

Sharp, Richard (1759-1835), nicknamed 'Conversation' Sharp, was a businessman, MP and critic. He was a friend of Samuel Rogers (q.v.) whom he introduced to STC. STC always adopted a respectful tone in letters to S. In 1809 STC turned for help in paying for the Friend to S, with Tom Hutchinson, Poole and brother George Coleridge (only the last-named refused). S received the letter (24 April 1812) in which STC describes WW as 'my bitterest Calumniator' - and showed it to WW. This may have helped bring about the reconciliation in reveal• ing to WW STC's state of mind.

Sotheby, William (1757-1833), poet, dramatist and translator, he became STC's staunch friend from their meeting in 1802. He re• ceived a series of long letters from STC dealing with his beliefs about poetry, including the distinction between 'imagination' and 'fancy', and revelations such as 'WW's Preface is half the child of my own brain'. He saw STC often during the Highgate years.

Sterling, John (1805-44) was one of STC's disciples in the Highgate years, immortalised in Thomas Carlyle's Life of John Sterling. He adored Coleridge during his lifetime, but a few years after his death wrote critically of his idleness and plagiarisms. He was probably influenced by Carlyle, whose own estimate of STC was consistently unfavourable, even though he had only met him briefly at Dr James Gillman's (q.v.) in 1824-5.

Stoddart, Sir John (1773-1856), a barrister and journalist, stayed at Greta Hall in 1800. He reviewed the second edition of Lyrical Ballads favourably. He was Judge Advocate in Malta, 1803-7, and gave STC an invitation to visit there, which prompted the Malta sojourn of 1804-6. His sister Sarah married . STC quarrelled with him over his failure to recover STC's papers from Naples in 1808.

Stuart, Daniel (1766-1846) was a journalist, editor of the Morning Post, 1796-c.1802, and editor and owner of the Courier, 1803-11. He Select Who's Who 177 met STC through Sir James Mackintosh (q.v.) in 1797. STC's first lines appeared in the Morning Post on 7 December 1797; S paid him a guinea a week for his contributions. He moved to London to write for the Courier in 1806. S helped to pay for the Friend, but there was a misunderstanding about what he had offered and STC felt that S had let him down. In 1838 S wrote anecdotes of STC, WW and Lamb for the Gentleman's Magazine. Letters from the to Daniel Stuart was published privately in 1889.

Thelwall, John (1764-1834) was a poet and revolutionary. He stud• ied divinity and law, and in 1794 was tried for high treason with Horne Tooke, Tom Hardy and Thomas Holcroft. All were acquitted after several weeks in the Tower of London. He stayed with STC at Stowey in 1797 and met WW and Lamb. His presence aroused local suspicion of a spy ring. In the following year he retired to Wales and became a lecturer in elocution, specialising in speech therapy.

Wade, Josiah, a linen-draper of Bristol and early friend of STC, was witness, with Martha Fricker, at STC's marriage at St Mary Redcliffe, Bristol, in 1795. He helped STC financially and practically over the Watchman. STC stayed with him at his house, 2 Queen's Square, Bristol, in 1813 in the depths of his opium addiction and W received his famous letter of repentance (26 June 1814): 'In the one crime of OPIUM, what crime have I not made myself guilty of!' In his will STC left W a mourning ring.

Wedgwood, Josiah, was the second son of Josiah Wedgwood senior (1730-95), the founder of the Staffordshire pottery firm, whom he succeeded in running the firm. He met STC at the home of his elder brother John, Cote House, near Bristol, probably in December 1797. With his brother Thomas (q.v.), in January 1798 he offered STC an annuity to enable him to write poetry, which avoided the necessity for STC to go into the ministry. When the firm lost money as a result of the Napoleonic Wars, he wrote in 1812 to ask to be honourably released from his agreement. This did not affect STC's affection for him.

Wedgwood, Thomas (1771-1805) was the third surviving son of Josiah Wedgwood senior and brother of Josiah (q.v.). An invalid, fond of science and philosophy, he is described in the Dictionary of National Biography as 'the first photographer'. He was attracted to 178 A Coleridge Chronology

STC's conversation when he met him with Josiah in 1797. He planned to go abroad for his health with STC as companion in 1802, but rapidly declined and died of 'thickening of the gut' (probably stom• ach cancer) while STC was in Malta.

Wilkinson, Thomas, WW's Quaker friend, lived at Yanwath in the Lake District. In 1809 he was visited for a month by STC whom he kept 'without spirits'. The Friend was successfully launched on 1 June that year, and OW said: 'TW is the father of The Friend:

Wilson, John (1785-1854), a wealthy and talented poet and sports• man, built a house at Elleray on Lake Windermere where STC and WW visited him. When he lost his fortune in 1811 he went to Edin• burgh and became the foremost writer for Blackwood's Magazine. He may have been the author of a scathing review of BL in October 1817 and, under the pseudonym 'Christopher North', was the author of a savage attack on Tennyson's Poems of 1830. Later in life he be• friended .

Wordsworth, John (1772-1805) was WW's sailor-brother. STC met him on his first trip to the Lakes in 1799. When he was drowned in the sinking of the Earl of Abergavenny off Portland Bill STC was grief• stricken. At one point (in Malta) he wished he had died at sea instead of JW. This may have been because he believed that JW would have married Sara H. Bibliography
