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
