The British Museum possesses two sets of Shakespeare's plays which were annotated by S. T. Coleridge. Coleridge's copious marginalia were utilized by his nephew, H. N. Coleridge, for Literary Remains, but with a great deal of rewriting, which was in part, but only in part, necessary. Of the fragments here printed, the first has not, I believe, appeared before; the second has been printed with alterations and large omissions; the third has been altered.
1 This note is one of the marginalia in the Theobald edition of Shakespeare owned by Coleridge's friend, Morgan. British Museum pressmark, C. 45. a. 21. See Volume VI, blank recto opposite page 488.
2 The preceding paragraph alone is printed by H. N. Coleridge, Cf. Bohn Lectures on Shakespeare, p. 274.
3 Coleridge had his own copy of Shakespeare's works rebound with interleaving (British Museum pressmark C. 61. h. 7). The passage above comes from the blank pages in front of The Tempest.
4 Bohn Lectures on Shakespeare, p. 368.
5 Ibid., p. 369.
6 Ibid., p. 370.
7 Bohn Lectures on Shakespeare, p. 371. The whole of the above fragment appears continuously in Coleridge's Shakespeare on the interleaf opposite p. 363.
