Excerpt from The Indebtedness of Samuel Taylor Coleridge to August Wilhelm Von Schlegel

Ferrier ridicules particularly the penultimate sentence of Cole ridge's defense in which he deprecates the charge of plagiarism, and, at the same time, attempts to make a sort of compact with the world whereby he shall be privileged to take all he wishes from Schelling without acknowledgment. He does not think any man has the right to enter such a plea as the above. SO long as these plagiarisms are undetected, this manner of wording the protest will insure to the author, (as it did to Coleridge during the whole of his life), the credit of being original, and when they are detected, (if that ever happens), it will give him the benefit of his protestation as a defense. The result is that the general reader will conclude that nothing could be further from Cole ridge 's intention than plagiarism.
