Coleridge's criticisms on the dramatists, with a reprint of Collier and other contemporary reports, are collected in ‘Lectures and Notes on Shakespeare and other English Poets,’ by T. Ashe, 1885).

Many of Coleridge's marginalia are still unpublished. Some of his books from the library of J. H. Green and others, now in the British Museum, contain many notes. References to the books annotated are in the catalogue under ‘S. T. Coleridge’ (cf. art. by Miss Zimmern, ‘Blackwood's Mag.,’ Jan. 1882). Many others are in private hands in England and America.

The first collected edition of Coleridge's ‘Poetical and Dramatic Works’ was published by himself in 1828; a second, edited by H. N. Coleridge, in 1834. The latest edition was issued in 1877 by Pickering and reissued in 1880 by Macmillan. The ‘Poetical Works,’ edited by T. Ashe, were published in 1885.
