Page:Osorio; a tragedy, as originally written in 1797 (IA cu31924105501831).pdf/30

 seem little short of miraculous, the transcript of Osorio, retained and treated with such contumely by Sheridan, and long supposed to be lost, has come forth from its hiding-place and reached our hands. In giving publicity to this interesting relic of one of the greatest of modern English poets, we shall be doing a service to all who love noble verse, and to all who honour and reverence the name of Samuel Taylor Coleridge.

[The Publisher desires gratefully to acknowledge the kind suggestions received from the poet's son, the Rev. Derwent Coleridge, in the course of the present undertaking.]
