Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Literary Remains of Samuel Taylor Coleridge Although the Author in his will contemplated the publication of some at least of the numerous notes left by him on the mar gins and blank spaces of books and pamphlets, he most certainly smote the notes themselves without any purpose beyond that of delivering his mind of the thoughts and aspirations suggested by the text under perusal. His books, that is, any person's books even those from a circulating library - were to him, whilst read ing them, as dear friends he conversed with them as with their authors, praising, or censuring, or qualifying, as the open page seemed to give him cause; little solicitous in so doing to draw summaries or to strike balances of literary merit, but seeking rather to detect and appreciate the moving principle or moral life, ever one and single, of the work in reference to absolute truth. Thus employed he had few reserves, but in general poured forth, as in a confessional, all his mind upon every sub jcet, - not keeping back any doubt or conjecture which at the time and for the purpose seemed worthy of consideration. In probing another's heart he laid his hand upon his own. He thought pious frauds the worst of all frauds, and the system of economizing truth too near akin to the corruption of it to be generally compatible with the J ob-like integrity of a true Chris.
