[1] Richard Sharp, 1759-1835, known as "Conversation Sharp," a banker, Member of Parliament, and distinguished critic. He was a friend of Wordsworth's, and on intimate terms with Coleridge and Southey. _Life of W. Wordsworth_, i. 377; _Letters of R. Southey_, i. 279, _et passim_.
[2] Jean Victor Moreau, 1763-1813. The "retreat" took place in October, 1796, after his defeat of the Archduke Charles at Neresheim, in the preceding August. _Biographical Dictionary._
[3] This phrase reappears in the first issue (1808) of the Prospectus of _The Friend_. Jeffrey, to whom the Prospectus was submitted, objected to the wording, and it was changed, in the first instance, to "mental gloom" and finally to "dejection of mind." See letter to F. Jeffrey, December 14, 1808, published in the _Illustrated London News_, June 10, 1893. Letter CLXXI.
[4] See concluding paragraph of Introductory Address of _Conciones ad Populum_ (February, 1795); _The Friend_, Section I., Essay xvi.; _Coleridge's Works_, 1853, ii. 307. For recantation of Necessitarianism, see footnote (1797) to lines "To a Friend, together with an Unfinished Poem." _Poetical Works_, p. 38.
[5] Stuart is responsible for a story that Coleridge's dislike and distrust of the "fellow from Aberdeen," the hero of _The Two Round Spaces on a Tombstone_, dated from a visit to the Wedgwoods at Cote House, when Mackintosh outtalked and outshone his fellow _protégé_, and drove him in dudgeon from the party. But in 1838, when he contributed his articles to the _Gentleman's Magazine_, Stuart had forgotten much and looked at all things from a different point of view. For instance, he says that the verses attacking Mackintosh were never published, whereas they appeared in the _Morning Post_ of December 4, 1800. A more probable explanation is that Stuart, who was not on good terms with his brother-in-law, was in the habit of confiding his grievances, and that Coleridge, _more suo_, espoused his friend's cause with unnecessary vehemence. _Gentleman's Magazine_, May, 1838, p. 485.
