or the biographical side. This last aspect of the
' Biographia,' indeed, demands, and would repay
in entertainment, a commentary all to itself.
Coleridge, after all, was a very " human mortal,"
and his autobiography is a correspondingly
human document. How delicious, when read
in the light of the subsequent silent borrowings
from Schelling, is the sentiment in chap, i.,
ushered in with a pompous train of ante-ambu-
latory clauses !
" I regard, and ever have regarded, the obliga- tions of intellect among the most sacred of the claims of gratitude. A valuable thought, or a particular train of thoughts, gives me additional pleasure, when I can safely refer and attribute it to the conversation or correspondence of another."
On Coleridge's indignant reproof to Southey's detractors (i. 47) Mr. Shawcross observes : " The tone of the criticisms in the Ed. Revieic hardly merits such severe language as this. We must suppose that Coleridge refers to more obscure periodicals." Coleridge here refers to the attacks on Southey in The Morning Chronicle, reprinted by Hazlitt, their author, in ' Political Essays ' (1819).
There are a few misprints : " Subnonensi " (i. 206) for ScHmonensi, an error traceable to ed. 1847 ; " pursue " for peruse (i. 14) ; " boldy " for boldly (i. 15) ; " clause " for cause (ii. 267) ; " was " for has (ii. 28, 272) ; and " 1819 " for 1849 (ii. 317). "Miseries" (ii. 188) is a misprint of 1817 which might well have been silently corrected : The Courier here reads mysteries. Mr. Shawcross's note (i. 206) on the Latin sentence Ne falleretur, &c., is beside the mark. Coleridge uses genuina not as a substantive, but as an adjective qualify- ing his (invented) substantive incalescentia. The " much-tortured draft of ' Love ' in the British Museum " (ii. 265), by the way, of which Dykes Campbell speaks in his edition of the ' Poems,' has since been published with a Preface and notes by Mr. W. Hale White (A. Constable, 1899).
FATHER ANGUS. The Times of 22 March con-
tained the following :
" The Rev. George Angus, M.A., who had been Roman Catholic priest at St. Andrews since 1885, died suddenly at his residence there on March 17. For some tune past his health had given cause for anxiety, though he was able to fulfil his duties. Father Angus, who was sixty-six years old, was a son of the late Mr.Angus, town clerk of Aberdeen. He was destined to enter the Army as an ensign, but went to Oxford (St. Edmund Hall), and took his degree in 1866, being ordained to the curacy of Prestbury, Gloucestershire. Afterwards he was received into the Roman Catholic Church, and served in India as an Army chaplain before going to St. Andrews. He was one of the con- tributors to the well-known book ' Roads to Rome.' Father Angus was of a genial disposition, and was beloved by every one who knew him. He was a member of the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews, and some years ago took an active interest in its management."
He was in the Indian Army before 1866. He was curate of Prestbury from 1866 to 1872, and later chaplain of the R.C. University College, Kensington.
Up to 10 S. ii. 255 he was a constant contributor.
