The Poetical Works. First collected edition, one of 300 copies. The poet's most popular works are collected in this volume, including "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner" and "Kubla Khan".Coleridge was unhappy with the work, which was succeeded the following year by an amended edition; in Campbell's words, "How much Coleridge was dissatisfied with the edition of 1828 is witnessed by the many alterations he made in preparing that of 1829" (The Athenaeum, p. 308).
