2, Buckingham Place, Mount Ephraim, Tonbridge Wells, Oct. I, 1889. My Dear Campbell, Thank you for your kindness in sending me my Father's old "Examiner" papers, which, like the poems, I had never seen. I have received Ireland's book, ^ and find parts of it very amusing reading, though it absolutely confirms the ancient impression that Hazlitt ^ was a flashy and quite second-rate writer, with a " certain gift of the gab, " suggesting genius. Of course I dipped first into " my first acquaintance... with poets, " and there I find him setting down Coleridge as " capricious, perverse, and prejudiced in his antipathies and distastes, " because forsooth, he (Hazlitt) could not get him (Coleridge) to enter into the merits of " Caleb Williams " (!), or to hold, with the writer of " Liber Amoris, " that Butler's Analogy is a " tissue of sophistry, of wondrous theological special pleading. " Hoping to see you here soon. Yours truly, Coventry Patmore. May 10, 1890. My Dear Campbell, Thanks for "Athenaeum".
