Coleridge (HARTLEY an English poet)

HARTLEY, an English poet and critic, son of Samuel Taylor Coleridge; born in Bristol, in 1796.

From Oxford he went to London, and there published some exquisite sonnets in the "London Magazine." He inherited defects of character and will, and never realized the promise of his great talents.

His writings in prose are "Biographia Borealis" (1833); "The Worthies of Yorkshire and Lancashire" (1836); and a volume of "Essays and Marginalia."

His brother Derwent published a biography and his poems. He died in 1849.
