17. Stirrer) Institution. At one period (about 

 1825), this building was known as the Blackfi-iars 

 Ttotundo. Here that execrable character, Robert 

 Taylor, who styled himself " the Devil's Chaplain," 

 delivered his blasphemous discourses. 



18. Opera House. Mr. Cunningham, speaking 

 of the translation of Arsinoe, the first Anglo- 

 Italian opera performed in this country, says: "The 

 translation was made by Thomas Clayton." This 

 is an error, for Clayton himself says, in his pre- 

 face : " I was obliged to have an Italian opera 

 translated." Clayton was the composer of the 

 miisic 



19. James s {St.') Chapel, St. James's Palace. 

 Mr. Cunningham says, "The service is chanted by 

 the boys of the Chapel Royal." This ought to read, 

 " The service is chaunted by the boys and gen- 

 tlemen of the Chapel Royal " The musical service 

 of our cathedrals and collegiate establishments 

 cannot be performed without four kinds of voices, 

 treble, alto, tenor, and bass. 



20. Bagnigge Wells. ]\Ir. Cunningham makes 

 a strange mistake concerning this once popular 

 place of amusement when he says, " first opened to 

 the public in the year 1767." A stone, still to be 

 seen, let into the wall over what was formerly the 

 garden entrance, has the following inscription : — 



"S + T 

 Tliis is Biiguigge 

 Hovse neare 

 Till' Pi'ider a 

 Wiikefeilde 

 1680." 

 The gardens were first opened for the accommoda- 

 tion of ])ersons who partook of the mineral S])rings; 

 subsequently, amusements were added ; and in 

 Biekham's curious work. The Musical Entertainer 

 (circa 17-38), is an engraving of Tom Hippersley 

 mounted in the "singing rostrum," regaling the 

 conip.'iny with a song, .\bout half a century after 

 this date, a regular orcliestra was erected, and ihe 

 entertainmen.ts resembled Marylebone Gardens 

 and Vnuxhall. Tlie old h'luse and gardens weie 

 demolished iu 1842, to make room tor several new 

 streets. Edward F. Rimbault. 



NOTES ON COLERIDGE S AIDS TO REFLECTION, 



(2n(l Edition, 1831.) 

 Introductory Aphorisms, No. xii., p. 7. : 

 " Tertullian hnd good reason for liis assertion, that 

 the simplest Christian (if indeed a Christian) knows 



more than the most accomplished irreligious philosQ. 

 pher." 



The passage referred to is in the Apology, c. 46 : 

 " Deum quilibet opifex Chvistianus et invenit et 

 ostendit et exinde totum, quod in Deo qiiseritur, re 

 qiioque assi?nat ; licet Plato affirniet factitatoreni uni- 

 versitatis iieque invenlri facllem et inventum enarrari 

 in omnes difficilem." 



Note to Aphorism xxxi., p. 30. : 

 " To which he [Plato] may possibly have referred in 

 his phrase BeoTrapa^dros cro(/iia." 



Possibly Coleridge may have borrowed this from 

 Berkeley's Siris, § 301., where B^oirafid^or os <pi\o- 

 (TocpLa is cited from "a heathen writer." The word 

 fisoTT 'pdSoTos occurs in Proclus and Mariiius (see 

 Yalpy's Stephani Thesaurus), but not in Plato. 



The motto from Seneca, prefixed to the Apho- 

 risms on Spiritual Religion, is from the forty-first 

 Epistle of that writer. 



The (piotation from Tertullian in the Comment 

 on the eighth of those Aphorisms, — 



" Certiim est quia impossibilf est." — p. 199. 

 is from the De Came Christi, cap. v. 

 Aphorism iv., p. 227.: 



" In wonder all philosophy began." 



See Plato's Theatetus, § 32., p. 155. Gataker on 

 Antonin. i. 15. Plutarch de EI Delph. cap. 2. 

 p. 385 B. Sympos, v. 7., p. 680 C. Aristot. Me- 

 taph. 1.2.9. 



In the " Sequela; " annexed to this Aphorism, it 

 is said of Simonides (p. 230.), that — 



" In the fortieth day of his meditation the sage and 

 philosopbic poet abandoned the problem [of the nature 

 of God] in despair." 



Cicero (de Nat. Dear. i. 22. § 60.) and Minu- 

 cius Feli.x (Octav 13.) do not specify the number 

 of days during which Simonides deferred his an- 

 swer to Hiero. 



Aphorism x. On Original Sin. (note, p. 252.) 

 (Tw^Tois (pcci'uv, &c., from Pindar, Olymp. ii. 85. 

 (152.). 



Conclusion, p. 399. : 



" Evidences of Christianity I I ara weary of the 

 word," &c. 



See the remarks on this passage in Archbishop 

 Whatoly's Logic, Appendix III., near the end. 



The (jnolation from Apuleius, at the end of the 

 book (p. 403.), is from the Metamorphos., i. 3.
