One of many interesting 19th Century British Literary items on our 
website:  http://www.charlesagvent.com   Our next internet list, which 
will be posted in about a week, will make a dent into our 19th Century 
American Literary holdings and will feature Oliver Wendell Holmes, 
Nathaniel Hawthorne, and Herman Melville.

  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 indispensable 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.                                     $2,000.00
