Samuel Taylor Coleridge letters to Hyman Hurwitz, 1818-1830.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/774686148

This is a small collection of correspondence from Samuel Taylor Coleridge to Hyman Hurwitz, spanning from 1818 to 1830. Coleridge and Hurwitz were neighbors and friends living in Highgate, London, England. There are fourteen letters from Coleridge discussing the work of both Hurwitz and Coleridge, including publishing and editing. One letter dated 17 May 1825 from Coleridge encloses a note from his nephew John Taylor Coleridge regarding publication of Hurtwitz's work through Mr. Murray. A theoretical discussion on the history of language by Coleridge is the subject of the 16 September 1829 letter. The correspondence also includes a recommendation from Coleridge to Leonard Horner regarding Hurwitz's position as Hebrew professor at the new University College, London, dated 27 November 1827. One letter, written on behalf of Reverend Samuel Mence (1790-1860) of Highgate, expresses his thoughts on Hurwitz's Hebrew Dirge and translation.
