This Centaur Classics edition reprints the original "Omniana "edition of 1812, but adds (a) for the first time, Coleridge s full annotations in the British Museum copy in the form of footnotes to Southey s text of that edition and (b) the Coleridge "Omniana "of 1809-16, added by H. N. Coleridge in 1836. The advantage of this text is that it combines the full text of the original edition with all Coleridge s later contributions, manuscript or printed."
