COLERIDGE, Samuel Taylor. AUTOGRAPH MANUSCRIPT FRAGMENT. AUTOGRAPH
MANUSCRIPT FRAGMENT by Coleridge of @200 words, two pages on both
sides of a sheet of paper (7-1/8" x 4-1/2") from an unknown work,
unsigned, apparently from an essay or notes on English grammar, with
approximately 16 lines on one side, and a portion of an outline
titled Logical Nomenclature on the other. In part: ". . . is the
ground of Time, and the indispensible condition of the absence of
circular reasoning in all below it. The Infinitive mood corresponding
to Indifference is the finite expression, or the Analogue of
Identity. It is so far like this that as the Identity is, so the
Indifference may be, both Verb and Substantive; but unlike inasmuch
as it cannot be both in the same relation or of the same object.
Rather therefore say: most of the Identity is both, so the
Indifference may be neither: thus For not to dip the Hero in the
stream could save the Son of Thetis from to die. . . ." Usual folds,
small stain in center of sheet affecting both sides. Very Good
