[72] Many years after the date of this letter, Dr. Spurzheim took a life-mask of Coleridge's face, and used it as a model for a bust which originally belonged to H. N. Coleridge, and is now in the Library at Heath's Court, Ottery St. Mary. Another bust of Coleridge, very similar to Spurzheim's, belonged to my father, and is still in the possession of the family. I have been told that it was taken from a death-mask, but as Mr. Hamo Thornycroft, who designed the bust for Westminster Abbey, pointed out to me, it abounds in anatomical defects. In a letter which Henry Coleridge wrote to his father, Colonel Coleridge, on the day of his uncle's death, he says that a death-mask had been taken of the poet's features. Whether this served as a model for a posthumous bust, or not, I am unable to say. In the curious and valuable article on death-masks which Mr. Laurence Hutton contributed to the October number of _Harper's Magazine_, for 1892, he gives a fac-simile of a death-mask which was said to be that of S, T. Coleridge. At the time that I wrote to him on the subject, I had not seen Henry Coleridge's letter, but I came to the conclusion that this sad memorial of death was genuine. The "glorious forehead" is there, but the look has passed away, and the "rest is silence." With regard to Allston's bust of Coleridge, which was exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1812, I possess no information. See _Harper's Magazine_, October, 1892, pp. 782, 783.
