powers; sensibilities that an averted look would rack, a heart
which would have beaten calmly in the tremblings of an earthquake. He
shrank from mere uneasiness like a child, and bore the preparatory
agonies of his death- attack like a martyr. Sinned against a thousand
times more than sinning, he himself suffered an almost life-long
punishment for his errors, whilst the world at large has the unwithering
fruits of his labours, his genius, and his sacrifice. _Necesse est tanquam
immaturam mortem ejus defleam; si tamen fas est aut flere, aut omnino
mortem vocare, qua tanti viri mortalitas magis finita quam vita est.
Vivit enim, vivetque semper, atque etiam latius in memoria hominum
et sermone versabitur, postquam ab oculis recessit._

Samuel Taylor Coleridge was the youngest child of the Reverend John
Coleridge, Vicar of the Parish of Ottery St. Mary, in the county of
Devon, and master of Henry the Eighth's Free Grammar School in that
town. His mother's maiden name was Ann Bowdon. He was born at
Ottery on the 21st of October, 1772, "about eleven o'clock in the
forenoon," as his father the vicar has, with rather a curious particularity,
entered it in the register.
He died on the 25th of July, 1834, in Mr. Gillman's house, in the Grove,
Highgate, and is buried in the old church-yard, by the road side.
