Summary
By 1798 Coleridge had long been in the habit of borrowing Society books through intermediaries; in 1794, for instance, John Frederick Pinney borrowed the Society copy of Bruce's Travels on his behalf during composition of Religious Musings. Coleridge's most frequent emissary to the Society was Joseph Cottle; in his letter of c. 6 may 1797 to the librarian, George Catcott, he gives his address as ‘S. T. Coleridge / Mr Cottle's / Bookseller, / High Street / Bristol’ (Griggs i 323). Since some or all of Cottle's 1798 borrowings may have been dispatched to Coleridge - and may thus have been seen also by Wordsworth - they deserve mention here.
