152 TREFERMENTS, MARRIAGES, &e. 



took his walk when he set up for a politician, and it is to be feaved the public have 

 a great deal to regret on account of it. His political articles are not the criterion 

 by which he will be reverenced by posterity. The verses of Coleridge give him 

 I)is claim to lasting celebrity, and these will live in unfading bloom till all perishable 

 things shall have passed away. 



The person of Coleridge was bulky, and hie physiognomy heavy, but his eye was 

 remarkably fine and intelligent; and in temper and disposition he was kind and 

 amiable. It is well known that the failings of literary men are scrutinized by the 

 rude world with the most rigid and uncharitable severity — but neither envy, hatred, 

 nor malice, have made any successful impression in attacking the moral character 

 of Coleridge. 



On Saturday, the 2nd inst. the mortal remains of this sublime poet and philoso- 

 pher were deposited in the vaults of Highgate Church. His funeral was strictly 

 private, and his hearse was followed by a few very intimate friends only who had 

 known and appreciated his moral excellence. Many of the admirers of his great 

 attainments and his high literary fame and reputation were desirous of attending, 

 but they were not invited, and some were even excluded by the friends who had 

 the conduct of his funeral, and who were best acquainted with the dislike of the 

 deceased to empty ostentation, and with the just, but meek and Christian feelings 

 and sentiments of his last moments. 



Mr. Heraud (the author of the lately published epic poem) delivered in the 

 Lecture-room of the Russell Institution, a funeral oration upon the departed poet. 

 He gave no sketch of his life, but dwelt on the merits of his poetic works, and on 

 the subtle and sublimated philosophy of that illustrious metaphysician. In the course 

 of Mr. Heraud's oration, he took occasion to state that Mr. Coleridge had printed 

 eight volumes of philosophy, and left a great mass of manuscripts, which was now 

 in the hands of a gentleman by whom it would be prepared for publication. The 

 room was crowded.
