I am indebted throughout to The Life and Correspondence of Robert Southey, edited by the Rev. C. C. Southey, six volumes, 1850, and to Selections from the Letters of Robert Southey, edited by J. W. Warter, B.D., four volumes, 1856. Many other sources have been consulted. I thank Mr. W. J. Craig for help given in examining Southey manuscripts, and Mr. T. W. Lyster for many valuable suggestions.
