Otway Wooldridge March 1853", and with the later book-label of D.S. Robertson; 8pp. of publisher's advertisements at front, dated July 1852. "This volume [billed as a 'new edition' on the title-page] was prepared for the press by my lamented sister, Mrs. H.N. Coleridge, and will have an additional interest to many readers as the last monument of her highly-gifted mind" (Derwent Coleridge). Louisa Frances Treweeke (1829-1871) married on 7 July 1853, at Breage, Cornwall, Henry Clelan, later Vicar of Eardisley, Herefordshire; her first cousin Samuel Otway Wooldridge (1814-1862) followed his father into the Royal Navy.
