‘...what makes you think that I dislike your ‘Table-Talk’?...I might tell Derwent [Coleridge], that the book gave me no feeling of my father’s manner, which it does not pretend to do, but the execution of the work I greatly admire, and Derwent well observes that it were sad indeed if so much excellent criticism, so much moral, religious, and political wisdom were to perish with the lips that uttered it.’
