He is best known as the friend of Coleridge and Southey, of whom, in 1837, he published Recollections, and in 1847 Reminiscences. He was the author of numerous works in prose and verse. In 1801 he published a New Version of the Psalms of David, of which a 2nd edition (privately printed), appeared in 1805. In 1828 he published Hymns and Sacred Lyrics. In Three Parts, by Constantius. Only a few copies were printed with this title, the greater part of the issue reading " by Joseph Cottle," instead of "by Constantius." These Hymns, Psalms and Sacred Lyrics," Cottle says, “are all originals, written progressively through a period of 20 years." Some of them found their way into a few collections, but have little poetic merit, and are now disused. [Rev. W. R.
