numbering system runs from 1 to 230. FIII (p 199) was not numbered. Coleridge began a

second numbering from the back, from f157 to f156 1 to 3, again only odd numbers

being used. A third numbering system going in the same direction begins on f152 and
v v
continues to f127 , the pages being numbered 1 to 50. F 22, 22 was tipped in, a calling
d card of “The Rev Richard Cattermole” on which entry 5390 was written.
PERIOD OF USE The notebook was formerly a “Gillman Receipt Book” and prescriptions in a variety of
v
unidentified hands appear on ff4 and ff 153–156. Coleridge eventually, mainly in
−10 v v
1826, uszd ff1–3 and 157–9, and wrote over the faint pencil jottings on ff4–10 . He apparently began to use the notebook on the pages following the first series of prescriptions, as he began his numbering on f11 and his earliest entries, datable
v
September 1823, are on ff11–17 . The notebook was in use at intervals from then until October 1830, when the last entry was squeezed in on f152, the notebook being filled. The chief periods of use, however, seem to be May–June 1826 and May– July 1827.
The notebook was used from back to front as well as from front to back, sometimes without any apparent consistency. Entries were often squeezed in wherever there seemed the most notable example of which is 5374, which skipped over pages not yet filled but perhaps being reserved for some special purpose. The notebook appears to have been used as a kind of catch-all not only for personal miscellanies but also materials in connexion with entries in other notebooks, chiefly the Folio (in the 1826 entries) and Notebooks 33 and 34 in 1827, which record Coleridge’s studies in the NT in the summer of that year.

COVER Red leather, with clasp now broken. There is a leather fold for a pencil holder attached to the top of the back cover. Written in black ink on the cover in a large hand (?Mrs Gillman’s) is “1819 & part/1824”. There is also a white homemade label on which is written 28/ii”. See 4645, 4646 and nn.
WATERMARK None, nor chain lines. SIZE AND CONDITION 90 leaves, 182 pages used, including inside front and back covers,
v v
foliated [f1 ] to f92. One leaf has been excised between f45 and f46, not included in the foliation, and ten pages were left blank (except for Coleridge’s numbering) between f75
v
and f76. Coleridge numbered the pages, including the ones left blank (ff75 –76–148–
v v
157), from f2 to f76 , 2–160, the numbers appearing in the upper right- and left-hand
v v corners of each page except the versos from f17 [31] to f76 [60]. vThe inside front cover f1 contains entry 4583; f2 is a title-page, with an “S.T.C.” label on it, entry 4582 in the upper right, and “16 July 1819/Highgate” written in ink below, followed by a paragraph of description; see 4584 and n:
Continued from the red pocket book, marked on the outside Cover. That book like most of its Predecessors begins at the beginning, middle, and end—and to prevent the jumble of Heterogene Subjects resulting from this
κ’αταξια, I have paged the last 28 sides the side next the Cover being p. 28: and devote these exclusively to Miscellanea.
A second title-page appears on f78; see 4585 and n. “Miscellanea/vel cogitationum vel
v otiorum vel/negotiorum”; here a second numbering begins as I, and runs to f91 , as 28.
Numbers are in upper right- and lefthand corners; f79 has been numbered “5”, the leaf of pages 3 and 4 having been torn out, with a stub remaining; having numbered two pages
v “7”, Coleridge inserted “07”s on what ought to have been pages 8 and 9 (ff80 and 81).
Entries are in ink unless otherwise indicated. On f21 there are pencilled scribbles (by a child?) resembling a double B. PERIOD OF USE The notebook appears to have been in use at intervals from July 1819 until October 1820,
v
presumably the last (ff74 –75) is datable 1827 or later. The chief periods of use seem to have been April–October 1820 and after April 1824. The notebook was evidently meant to be third in a series, of which Notebook 27 and some notebook now lost were the other members (see 4645, 4646 and nn) and was put to use mainly for notes on scientific matters and the theories of the Naturphilosophen.
NOTEBOOK 30 BM Add MS 47, 527 BM Add MS 47, 527
COVER Brown leather and board; faint traces of the original red remain. On the front cover is written in black ink in a large hand (?Mrs Gillman’s) “1823. 1824/Rams-gate/ on the back “Ramsgate”. On the front is a white home-made label on which is written 30”.
v
The inside of the front cover (f1 ) has entry 5098, the inside back cover (f69), entries 4826 and 5005, front and back being determined by Coleridge’s main page-numbering. WATERMARK H M [no date] SIZE AND CONDITION
×4 ′′, 67 leaves, 136 pages, including the inside of the front and back covers and the inserted scraps, foliated// to f69. Rectos were numbered by Coleridge (f2, ff5–67, f69),
v v
with the odd numbers from 1 to 129, and, with the notebook turned (ff69, 67 –48 ), with 1, 2 and the even numbers to 40. Numbers are centered at the top of the pages. Two
v
leaves were excised between f51 and f52 leaving stubs not included in Coleridge’s numbering or the foliation. (For the missing leaves, now in PML, see below 5102 and n.) Entries are in ink except where otherwise indicated in the notes.
In the BM rebinding three loose scraps of paper have been attached to three leaves inserted for the purpose. These scraps are foliated 3, 4, and 68. Their stubs appear
v v
between ff10 and 11, and ff59 and 60. F3 reads, in Mrs Gillman’s hand: “if this does not belong to this Book—it belongs to an old red book 1804.”
v
This possibly refers to ff4–4 which is written on in ink: line of p. H. insert: For if the fact of the prior annunciation and acceptance of the Christian
Faith, on which the authority of the Scriptures is grounded, be equal to the weight which it is to support, we must presume that the first Receivers of the Faith had found in it a fulfilment of those conditions, under which alone the authenticity of the writings could confer a binding
authority on them: even if the authenticity itself could be sufficiently
established, independent of this criterion. (Tho’ it be in some measure an anticipation and therefore a departure from our scheme of arrangement, we will yet, for the purpose of illustration alone, observe that the t
Epistle of S Barnabas affords an instance in which both may be exemplified: if rejected as spurious (for which no other but internal reasons, and those not historical or chronological, can be assigned) on the grounds of this rejection;—but if acknowledged as genuine, then in the fact and justification of its non-admission into the Sacred Canon.) The Faith of the first Believers, antecedent to the existence of the sacred Writings may be supposed to fall from defects in the superstructure. Coleridge’s footnote sign indicating insertion on a mysterious “p[age] H” may be another pointer to a lost notebook; see N 28 Gen N. f68 gives a recipe, not in coleridge’s hand.
PERIOD OF USE The notebook was in use over a relatively short period of time, from September–October 1823 to January 1824, when Coleridge was reading in church histories for his life of Leighton, although one entry (4826) may have been put in as early as September 1821. The notebook, like many others, was used from the back towards the front, with the book reversed, as well as from front to back. About half the entries are in one sequence, half in the other, although there is evidence that neither sequence is in straight chronological order.
