COLERIDGE, Samuel Taylor. A Moral and Political Lecture, Delivered at Bristol. Bristol: George Rough, [1795].
8o (225 x 137 mm). Collation: A4 B6. Laid paper, watermarked "1794." (Upper corners of title and final leaf restored.) Brown crushed levant morocco, top edges gilt, others uncut, by Riviere. Provenance: purchased from Ximenes, New York, 1970.
FIRST EDITION of Coleridge's second book. Coleridge's lecture, delivered after he had left Cambridge without a degree, was the result of financial necessity. He and Southey lived poorly at 48 College Street and were indebted to the young bookseller Joseph Cottle. To repay their debts, and to fund their burgeoning "Pantisocratic" plan to settle in America, they began lecturing. Coleridge's lecture reflects on the revolution in France, and sounds warnings closer to home: "The Example in France is indeed a 'Warning to Britain.' A nation wading to their Rights through Blood, and marking the track of Freedom by Devastation!" Ashley I, pp.193-194; Wise Coleridge 2. RARE.
