Note
  • Signatures: [π]² [a]⁸ A-R⁸ S⁴ [-S4].

New material includes Coleridge's poem “The Ode to the Departing Year” and a new Preface in which he defended himself from charges of obscurity: "I have pruned the double-epithets with no sparing hand; and used my best efforts to tame the swell and glitter both of thought and diction" (Preface, page xvii).

  • Errata contained on page 278.
  • The rare errata slip was possibly produced for Charles Lloyd, and inserted only in copies with passed through his hands, as the three corrections, on pages 180-86, are all to Lloyd's poems.
  • Dedications: Coleridge's, page vii, "To the Reverend George Coleridge ..."; Lamb's, page [216], "to Mary Ann Lamb, the author's best friend and sister."
  • Price: 6s.
