February 18th, 1800.
The following exquisite image on Leighton was found in one of Coleridge's note books, and is also inserted in his
Literary Remains
:
"Next to the inspired Scriptures, yea, and as the vibration of that once struck hour remaining on the air, stands Archbishop Leighton's commentary on the first epistle of Peter."
In his later days, Mr. Coleridge would have renounced the opinions and the incorrect reasoning of this letter.
