Letter addressed to Hartley's mother, Mrs Samuel Taylor Coleridge, at Greta Hall, Keswick [1829] Editors note that Hartley is referring to Blackwood's Magazine (July 1829), and Robert Southey’s Colloquies on the Progress and Prospects of Society (1829). ‘the Professor’ is John Wilson, who wrote under the pseudonym ‘Christopher North' for Blackwood's and was a close friend of Hartley's.
