He accuses Mr.Southey of pursuing Lord B---- with _rancour_.

I should like a reference to what Mr.S---- has written of Lord B----, to ascertain whether this charge be well founded.

Now for a word on the serious part of your letter.

Your views of action and contemplation are, I think, just.

If you can lay your hands upon Mr.
Coleridge's 'Friend,' you will find some remarks of mine upon a letter signed, if I recollect right, 'Mathetes,' which was written by Professor Wilson, in which, if I am not mistaken, sentiments like yours are expressed.
