Page:Hints towards the formation of a more comprehensive theory of life - Coleridge (1848).djvu/101



Editor deems it right to state that the contents of the foregoing pages were, amongst other Papers, placed at his disposal by an intimate friend of the late author:Samuel Taylor Coleridge; and from internal evidence he was induced to attribute to that gentleman the entire authorship. After, however, the present edition had passed through the press, and was on the eve of publication, circumstances arose which led to the belief that the work might with more propriety be considered as the joint production of Mr. and the late Mr., of Highgate.
