Excerpt from Specimens of the Table Talk of the Late Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Vol. 1 of 2
Live if they can live any where - in the memories alone of those who witnessed them. Yet I would fain hope that these pages will prove that all is not lost; - that something of the wisdom, the learning, and the eloquence of a great man's social converse has been snatched from forgetfulness, and endowed with a permanent shape for general use. And although, in the judgment of many persons, I may incur a serious responsibility by this publication; I am, upon the whole, willing to abide the result, in confidence that the fame of the loved and lamented speaker will lose nothing hereby, and that the cause of Truth and of Goodness will be every way a gainer. This sprig, though slight and im mature, may yet become its place, in the Poet's wreath of honour, among flowers of graver hue.
