I have not a moment's hesitation in fixing on Mr.Frere as the man of the correctest and most genial taste among all our contemporaries whom I have ever met with, personally or in their works.

Should choice or chance lead you to sun and air yourself on Highgate Hill during any of your holiday excursions, my worthy friend and his amiable and accomplished wife will be happy to see you.

We dine at four, and drink tea at six.
Yours, dear Sir, respectfully, S.T.

COLERIDGE.
Mr.Murray did not accept Mr.Coleridge's proposal to publish his works in a collected form or his articles for the _Quarterly_, as appears from the following letter: _Mr.Coleridge to John Murray_.
HIGHGATE, _March_ 26, 1817.
DEAR SIR, I cannot be offended by your opinion that my talents are not adequate to the requisites of matter and manner for the _Quarterly Review,_ nor should I consider it as a disgrace to fall short of Robert Southey in any department of literature.

I owe, however, an honest gratification to the conversation between you and Mr.Gillman, for I read Southey's article, on which Mr.Gillman and I have, it appears, formed very different opinions.
