Excerpt from Select Poems: Being the Literature Prescribed for the Junior Matriculation and Junior Leaving Examinations, 1905

A few words may be needed to explain the appearance in this volume of biographical and other notes on Coleridge. When the present edition was undertaken, Coleridge's Ancient Mariner and Youth and Age were part of the work prescribed for Junior Matriculation and Junior Leaving for 1900. In May came the decision of the Senate of Toronto University to drop Coleridge. As the book was intended for use in other Provinces, as well as in Ontario, the publishers de cided to include in the volume the Coleridge selections, together with the annotations which the editors had com pleted when the Senate's order was issued. The notes on Coleridge follow those on Longfellow and Wordsworth, but to prevent misunderstanding on the part of the Ontario student, the text of The Ancient Mariner and Youth and Age appears in the Appendix.
