- 1817, S[amuel] T[aylor] Coleridge, “The motives of the present work—Reception of the Author’s first publication—The discipline of his taste at school—The effect of contemporary writers on youthful minds—[William Lisle] Bowles’s sonnets—Comparison between the Poets before and since Mr. [Alexander] Pope”, in Biographia Literaria; or Biographical Sketches of My Literary Life and Opinions, volume I, London: Rest Fenner, […], →OCLC, footnote, page 21:
