T. Coleridge, to John Chubb of Bridgwater, to whose facile pencil we owe the portraits of his contemporaries which are here reproduced. To his descendant, Mr. J. B. Chubb, I wish here to record my gratitude for his most kind permission to publish these. Sir W. Gurney Benham I also wish to thank for his ready help in tracing Thornton&#8217;s subsequent political career, at Colchester. I have presupposed somewhat the reader&#8217;s acquaintance with Mrs. Sandford&#8217;s Tom Poole and his Friends. The reference to Hazlitt and the excerpt from De Quincey are probably well known. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Memoirs and Correspondence of C. J. Fox are the source of many of my facts; I am indebted to Mr. David Ogg&#8217;s England in the reign of Charles II for the note on the recordership in English boroughs, and to Mr. H. B. Irving&#8217;s Judge Jeffreys for the facts of Rosewell&#8217;s trial. The Annual Register is a quarry of information. The Bridgwater petition against the slave trade is recorded in Conplant&#8217;s Wilberforce. <br>T. B. D [T.
