the poem are possibly only a retrospective reaction to the poem's content. If the 31 January sonnet is
Coleridge's, then it would represent Coleridge's feelings at the time about (as Gurion Taussig describes) Stanhope's "arguments in the tones of sensibility and its appeal to man's innate natural rights. As such, the 'friend of Humankind' represents a sentimental figure, free from artificial social prejudices or desires like 'AMBITION' that would limit his instinctive affections."

After the 11th was written, the series was stopped. In a 10 March 1795 letter to George Dyer, Coleridge stated that he planned five more poems, with only one addressed to Lord Stanhope being written.

Stanhope and the poem was not to be reprinted in later collections. However, it still was printed in the 1803 collection. In a note to Sara Hutchingson's copy of the 1803 edition of Coleridge's poetry, Coleridge stated, "Infamous Insertion!

The attribution of the poem to Coleridge has been argued as the precursor to the 1796 edition of the poem while other editors have disputed it and authorship is uncertain.

By 1803, Coleridge was claiming that he did not want the poem published anymore and that it was originally intended to mock those who held the beliefs which Coleridge had held years earlier. It is part of the

This idea appears in the 1796 edition of the poem with an emphasis on friend of the human race being a general love for mankind. Coleridge ranks the person who is friend of mankind above those who are merely patriots, as the friend is a truly democratic individual. This view continued in a March 1796

Pantisocracy. However, after plans for a Pantisocratic community fell apart, Coleridge's opinions radically shifted to something similar to what was being promoted

Unlike his brother-in-law the Prime
Minister William Pitt, Stanhope supported the French Revolution, which earned him praise. Previously, Coleridge had attacked Pitt's views as being against liberty. However, by the time Coleridge would have had the poem printed for his 1796 collection of poems, he

Coleridge considered his heroes, along with two whom he did not favour. Coleridge claimed that the poem was supposed to be taken ironically, but there is little evidence that he originally wanted it removed from his collections. Instead, his feelings on
