A collection of Coleridge's editorial contributions to the London Morning Post, beginning in 1798, and later to the evening Courier, ending in 1818. Many of the lively essays in this edition, including several ironic satirical pieces in verse and prose, did not appear in the original collection assembled by Sara Coleridge in 1850.


Between 1808 and 1819 Samuel Taylor Coleridge delivered to audiences in Bristol and London more than a hundred lectures in twelve courses that may be broadly described as literary. These two volumes record these lectures, which discussed a variety of topics such as taste, education, superstition, and the Dark Ages in Europe, and which also reflected Coleridge's central concerns as a critic.

This edition of the Lay Sermons contains The Statesman's Manual and A Lay Sermon, printed from their original editions. In his introduction R. J. White presents the personal and political background of the Lay Sermons and recounts their reception.

Coleridge's weekly miscellany called The Watchman ran for 10 numbers in 1796. A rare work, The Watchman is reprinted in its entirety.
