A chapter of digression and anecdotes, as an interlude preceding that on the nature and genesis of the Imagination or Plastic Power On pedantry and pedantic expressions Advice to young authors respecting publication Various anecdotes of the Author's literary life, and the progress of his opinions in Religion and Politics. "Esemplastic. The word is not in Johnson, nor have I met with it elsewhere."
I will conclude with the words of Bishop Jeremy Taylor: "He to whom all things are one, who draweth all things to one, and seeth all things in one, may enjoy true peace and rest of spirit." On the imagination, or esemplastic power
'Twas but a step from Coleridge and Esemplastic matters to Plotinus, and in a month he had taken that step, the more readily, that he was a right good Grecian, and found no unpleasant philological difficulties in the "Enneades". Thence he went on in feverish unrest, wildly running up and down all Niffelheim in quest of some centre-point upon which he could stand firm and look around him.
It will be well, if already you have not too much of metaphysical disquisition in your work, though as the larger part of the disquisition is historical, it will doubtless be both interesting and instructive to many to whose unprepared minds your speculations on the esemplastic power would be utterly unintelligible. I say in the present work.
