theological, philosophical, scientific, social, and psychological
matters, plans for and fragments of works, and many other items of
great interest. This fourth double volume of the Notebooks covers the
years 1819 through 1826. The range of Coleridge's reading, his endless
questioning, and his recondite sources continue to fascinate the
readers. Included here are drafts and full versions of the later
poems. Many passages reflect the technological interests that led to
Coleridge's writing of Aids of Reflection, later to become an
important source for the Transcendentalists. Another development in
this volume is the startling expansion of Coleridge's interest in "the
theory of life" and in chemistry--the laboratory chemistry of the
Royal Institution fo Great Britain and the theoretical chemistry of
German transcendentalists such as Okea, Steffens, and Oersted. Also
contained in this volume is an important section on the meaning of
marriage. Kathleen Coburn is Professor Emeritus at Victoria College of
