his best.liked itMarion Bacon, ’22REVIEWSMisi,’s New Book on ColeridgeNO contemporary Coleridge critic has been more persistent in calling attention to the critical and scientific work of Coleridge than Professor Alice D. Snyder of Vassar College. Already in the volume Coleridge on Logic and Learning (1929) Professor Snyder indicated and justified her interest in the philosophical ideas which he held and inthis latest work, S. T. Coleridge's Preliminary Treatise on Method, she has once again pointed up Coleridge’s wide erudition and close affiliation with the dominant intellectual tendencies of his age.S. T, Coleridge's Preliminary Treatise on Method as originally published in The Encyclopaedia Metropolitana is here reprinted with Introduction, Manuscript fragments, and Notes for a complete collation with the essays on Method in The Friend, In a full and admirable introduction, Professor Snyder gives the history of the essay and the story of The Encyclopaedia Metropolitans enterprise, andwith her usual soundness and balance of judgment disentangles the questions which have attended Coleridge’s part in the whole undertaking.The essay itself is of particular interest to the Coleridge specialist as illustrating Coleridge’s conception of his own philosophical function, and one of his moresuccessful executions of it. But the essayshould also be of interest to the student ol early 19th century thought, as it belongs properly to the history of ideas along with his other better known works.Margaret Bell Rawlings.S.
