  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
                                                               $2000.00
