COLERIDGE, Samuel Taylor. The Plot Discovered; or An Address to the People, Against Ministerial Treason . Bristol: Printed for the Author, 1795.
COLERIDGE, Samuel Taylor. The Plot Discovered; or An Address to the People, Against Ministerial Treason . Bristol: Printed for the Author, 1795. 8° (169 x 109 mm). Stitched as issued in original printed blue wrapper, ENTIRELY UNCUT AND UNOPENED ; cloth folding case. EXCEEDINGLY RARE FIRST EDITION, ONE OF ONLY A FEW KNOWN IN THE ORIGINAL PRINTED WRAPPER . The wrappers on this work are of greater than usual significance: in the Poems of 1796 and elsewhere, the book was advertised under the title of A Protest Against Certain Bills . This title does not appear anywhere in the text, but is the title printed on the wrapper. It was long accepted that Coleridge privately printed five prose pamphlets at Bristol in 1795. The location of copies with this wrapper, however, proved that The Plot Discovered and A Protest Against Certain Bills were essentially the same work. Sterling 184; Tinker 675; Wise, Coleridge 4.
