Poetic Heredity.
Of poetic families, the Coleridges,
like the Tennysons. are hard to beat
The author of •‘Christober had a
daughter and two sons—all poets. The
first Sara, wrote lyrics which, ac
cording to Dr. Garnett, entitle her “to
rank high among English poetesses."
The eldest sou. Hartley, in the same
CTitic's opinion, was a sonneteer
"among the most perfect in the lan
guage." Derweut. the other sou. wrote
some very beautiful verses in Knight's
Quarterly Magazine of 1S22 and else
where. Derwent’s son. Mr. Ernest
Hartley Coleridge, is the author of a
volume of poems. The Hon. Stephen
Coleridge has several volumes to his
credit as a poet, aud everybody who is
a verse lover knows of tlie late Mary
E. Coleridge, whose beautiful gift ap
peared through a volume of poems in
1907. And there is an E. P. Coleridge,
who has rescued certain translations
of the classics from ridicule.—London
Chronicle.

Where th«* seeking of truth begins,
