COtEBIDGE's NOTES ON PEPYs's DIARY. 



In a copy of Pepys's Memoirs, 2 vols. 4to. 1825, 

 in my possession, are the following MS. remarks 

 of S. T. Coleridge. They have never been printed ; 

 if you think them worthy of insertion they are 

 quite at your service. 



As it would take up too much room in your 

 pages to copy the passages at length from Tepys's 

 Diary, I generally only give the page, and begin- 

 ning of the passage alluded to. 



Pepys.—\o\. \. p. 84. : " he, in discourse of the great 

 opinion of the virtue, gratitude," &c, 



Coleridge. — " Exquisite specimen of dry, grave 

 irony." 



Pepys. — Vol. i. p. 189. : " Falling into discourse of a 

 new book of drollery in use, called Hudibras, I would 

 needs go find it out ; . . .. it is so silly an abuse of 

 the Presbyter Knight going to the warrs, that I am 

 ashamed of it." 



Coleridge. — " Pepys pronounces at p. 167. the 

 Midsummer Niglifs Dream the most insipid ridi- 

 culous play he had ever seen." 



Pepys. — Vol. ii. p. 10, : " Sir G. Carteret did tell a 

 story, how at his death he did make the town swear 



that he should never be dug up they after sixty 



years do it found a plate of brasse, saying, &c. 



which, if true, is very strange." 



Coleridge. — " If ! ! ! but still more strange 

 would be the truth of the story. Yet only suppose 

 the precise date an addition of the reporters : and 

 nothing more natural. — Mem. The good old story 

 of a jealous husband's sending his confidential 

 servant to his wife, forbidding her to see a certain 

 gentleman during his absence, and to bring back 

 her solemn oath and promise that she would not : 

 and how the shrewd fellow, instead of this, took 

 her oath not to ride on Neptune's back, their 

 huge Newfoundland yard-dog," 



Pepys. — Vol. ii. p. 13. : " We had much talk of all 

 our old acquaintance," &c. 



Coleridge. — "Most valuable on many, various, 

 and most important accounts, as I hold this Diary 

 to be, I deem it invaluable, as a faithful portrait 

 of enlightened {i. e. calculating) self-love and self-
