Coleridge, Samuel Taylor Autograph letter, to his brother George, about Calligraphy, incomplete, lacking most of the second leaf, written in Coleridge`s neatest copperplate script, commenting on his cough, ",,,not Cerberus ever bark`d louder: every act of tussitation seems to divorce my bowells and belly...Well - from catarrhs may Heaven preserve / The lungs Of all my Tribe!..."; passing on family news, and commenting enthusiastically on his meeting with the writing master Thomas Tomkins (1743-1816), whose script he emulates in this letter, 2 pages, folio, and fragment of second page (small strip at top), 17 May 1791 "...he declared, that he thought me a very clever young man - and I declared that I thought his Collection of Poems one of the best Collections, I had ever seen...here he shewed me the Title-page of Macklin`s famous bible, written by himself. It was, without hyperbole, most astonishingly beautiful. I could not help delicately insinuating that I conceived such writing not more the production of a fine-formed Hand, than the emanation of an elegant Soul; and I ended with lamenting my own most shameful deficiency in this respect. He desired to see my writing - I shewed him some - he might have read it by the light of my Blushes...it contained never the less the seeds of a good hand... I regard them as the causes, and that time as the Æra of my surprizing conversion - a conversion to be parrelleled by none since the conversion of St. Paul..." Note: Published in the Collected Letters, ed. Griggs, I, 9-11 (No.6). Provenance: The property of a gentleman by direct descent from George Coleridge.
