Coleridge spent the summer of 1795 in Bristol in company with Southey, writing and lecturing.

In October he was married to Sarah Fricker in "St.Mary's Redcliff, poor Chatterton's church." In November Southey married Edith Fricker and set sail for Lisbon, where his uncle was the English chaplain; and Pantisocracy was dead.
The break with Southey was the natural result of attempting to force through a scheme impracticable in itself and doubly impracticable for the men who conceived it.

Its collapse did not altogether sever their literary relations.

The collaboration begun in "The Fall of Robespierre" (Cambridge, 1794) was continued in Southey's "Joan of Arc" (1796), to which Coleridge contributed the part afterwards printed (with some additions) as "The Destiny of Nations," and in Coleridge's first volume of "Poems" (Bristol, 1796).

A more important contributor to this volume, however, was Charles Lamb, whose initials were appended to four of the pieces.
