Item 164 - Proposal for a prize in Samuel Taylor Coleridge's name

3 pp

[Revised version of JCH to WW, 25 October 1834] Some of the friends of the late Samuel Coleridge think a prize should be founded in his name at the University of Cambridge [see JCH to WW, 12 Oct. 1834]: 'With reference to the main bent of his thoughts and studies through the whole of his life, they conceive that the Coleridge Prize should be for an English Essay on some question, speculative or historical, of metaphysical philosophy, more especially on such as bear on any of the great truths of religion, as set forth in the Canonical Scriptures, and in the articles of our National Church'.
