About this time, when party spirit was running high, Coleridge was known to be the author of the following Jeu d'Esprit,
"Dregs half way up and froth half way down, form Whitbread's Entire."
It was Mr. Rae who took it for his benefit, some time after Mr. Coleridge's residence at Highgate.
"My heart, or some part about it, seems breaking, as if a weight were suspended from it that stretches it, such is the bodily feeling, as far as I can express it by words."
Letter addressed to Mr. Morgan.
