Oxford, of which he was a See also:scholar. He was called to the See also:bar in 1846, and went the western See also:circuit, rising steadily, through more than twenty years of hard See also:work, till in 1865 he was returned as member for See also:Exeter in the Liberal See also:interest. The impression which he made on the heads of his party was so favourable that they determined, See also:early in the session of 1867, to put him forward as the protagonist of their attack on the Conservative See also:government. But that move seemed to many of their staunchest adherents unwise, and it was frustrated by the active opposition of a See also:section, including See also:Hastings See also:- RUSSELL (FAMILY)

time with a large See also:majority behind them in 1868. Coleridge was made, first See also:solicitor-, and then See also:attorney-See also:general.
As early as 1863 a small See also:body of Oxford men in See also:parliament had opened See also:fire against the legislation which kept their university See also:bound by ecclesiastical swaddling clothes. They had made a good See also:deal of progress in converting the House of See also:Commons to their views before the general See also:election of 1865. That election having brought Coleridge into parliament, he was hailed as a most valuable ally, whose See also:great university distinction, brilliant success as an orator at the bar, and hereditary connexion with the High See also:- CHURCH
- CHURCH (according to most authorities derived from the Gr. Kvpcaxov [&wµa], " the Lord's [house]," and common to many Teutonic, Slavonic and other languages under various forms—Scottish kirk, Ger. Kirche, Swed. kirka, Dan. kirke, Russ. tserkov, Buig. cerk

Church party, entitled him to take the See also:lead in a See also:movement which, although gathering strength, was yet very far from having achieved See also:complete success. The clerically-minded section of the Conservative party could not but listen to the son of Sir John Coleridge, the godson of See also:Keble, and the See also:grand-See also:nephew of the See also:man who had been an indirect cause of the See also:Anglican revival of 1833,—for John See also:Stuart See also:- MILL
- MILL (O. Eng. mylen, later myln, or miln, adapted from the late Lat. molina, cf. Fr. moulin, from Lat. mola, a mill, molere, to grind; from the same root, mol, is derived " meal;" the word appears in other Teutonic languages, cf. Du. molen, Ger. muhle)
- MILL, JAMES (1773-1836)
- MILL, JOHN (c. 1645–1707)
- MILL, JOHN STUART (1806-1873)
Mill was right when he said that the poet Coleridge and the philosopher See also:Bentham were, so far as England was concerned, the leaders of the two chief movements of their times: " it was they who taught the teachers, and who were the two great seminal minds."
Walking up one evening from the House of Commons to dine at the See also:Athenaeum with Henry See also:Bruce (afterwards Lord See also:Aberdare) and another friend, Coleridge said: " There is a trial coming on which will be one of the most remarkable causes celebres that has ever been heard of." This was the Tichborne See also:case, which led to proceedings in the criminal courts rising almost to the dignity of a See also:political event. The Tichborne trial was the most. conspicuous feature of Coleridge's later years at the bar, and tasked his See also:powers as an See also:advocate to the uttermost, though he was assisted by the splendid abilities and See also:industry of See also:Charles (afterwards Lord) See also:Bowen. In See also:November 1873 Coleridge succeeded Sir W. See also:Bovill as chief justice of the See also:common pleas, and was immediately afterwards raised to the See also:peerage as Baron Coleridge of Ottery St Mary. In 188o he was made lord chief justice of England on the See also:death of Sir Alexander See also:Cockburn.
In See also:jury cases his quickness in apprehending facts and his lucidity in arranging them were very remarkable indeed. He was not one of the most learned of lawyers, but he was a great deal more learned than many See also:people believed him to be, and as an ecclesiastical lawyer had perhaps few or no superiors. His fault—a natural See also:fault in one who had been so successful as an advocate—was that of being too See also:apt to take one See also:side. He allowed, also, certain political or See also:personal prepossessions to See also:colour the See also:tone of his remarks from the See also:bench. A See also:game-preservinglandlord had not to thank the gods when his case, however buttressed by generally accepted claims, came before Coleridge. Towards the end of his See also:life his See also:health failed, and he became somewhat indolent. On the whole, he was not so strong a man in his judicial capacity as See also:- CAMPBELL, ALEXANDER (1788–1866)

Campbell or Cockburn; but it must be admitted that his scholarship, his refinement, his power of See also:oratory, and his See also:character raised the tone of the bench while he sat upon it, and that if it has been adorned by greater judicial abilities, it has hardly ever known a greater See also:combination of varied merits. It is curious to observe that of all See also:judges the man whom he put highest was one very unlike himself, the great See also:master of the rolls, Sir See also:- WILLIAM

Coleridge's work, first as a See also:barrister, and then as a See also:judge, prevented his See also:publishing as much as he otherwise would have done, but his addresses and papers would, if collected, fill a substantial See also:volume and do much See also:honour to his memory. One of the best, and one most eminently characteristic of the man, was his inaugural address to the Philosophical Institution at See also:Edinburgh in 1870; another was a See also:paper on See also:Wordsworth (1873). He was an exceptionally good See also:letter-writer. Of travel he had very little experience. He had hardly been to See also:Paris; once, quite near the end of his career, he spent a few days in See also:- HOLLAND

Holland, and came back a willing slave to the See also:genius of See also:Rembrandt; but his longest See also:absence from England was a visit, which had some-thing of a representative legal character, to the See also:United States. It is See also:strange that a man so steeped in See also:Greek and See also:Roman See also:poetry, so deeply interested in the past, See also:present and future of See also:Christianity, never saw See also:Rome, or See also:Athens, or the See also:Holy See also:Land. A subsidiary cause, no doubt, was the fatal See also:custom of neglecting See also:modern See also:languages at See also:English See also:schools. He See also:felt himself at a disadvantage when he passed beyond English-speaking lands, and cordially disliked the situation.
No See also:notice of Coleridge should omit to make mention of his extraordinary See also:store of anecdotes, which were nearly always connected with Eton, Oxford, the bar or the bench. His exquisite See also:voice, considerable power of See also:mimicry, and perfect method of narration added greatly to the See also:charm. He once told, at the table of Dr See also:Jowett, master of Balliol, anecdotes through the whole of See also:dinner on Saturday evening, through the whole of breakfast, lunch and dinner the next See also:day, through' the whole See also:journey on See also:Monday See also:morning from Oxford to See also:Paddington, without ever once repeating himself. He was frequently to be seen at the Athenaeum, was a member both of Grillion's and The See also:Club, as well as of the See also:Literary Society, of which he was See also:president, and whose meetings he very rarely missed. See also:Bishop See also:Copleston is said to have divided the human See also:race into three classes,—men, See also:women and Coleridges. If he did so, he meant, no doubt, to imply that the See also:family of whom the poet of Christabel was the chief example regarded themselves as a class to themselves, the See also:objects of a See also:special See also:dispensation. John Duke Coleridge was sarcastic and See also:critical, and at times over-sensitive. But his strongest characteristics were love of See also:liberty and justice. By See also:birth and connexions a Conservative, he was a Liberal by conviction, and loyal to his party and its great See also:leader, Mr See also:Gladstone.
Coleridge had three sons and a daughter by his first wife, Jane See also:Fortescue, daughter of the Rev. See also:George Seymour of See also:Freshwater. She was an artist of real genius, and her portrait of See also:Cardinal See also:Newman was considered much better than the one by See also:Millais. She died in See also:February 1878; a See also:short notice of her by See also:Dean Church of St See also:Paul's was published in the See also:Guardian, and was reprinted in her See also:husband's privately printed collection of poems. Coleridge remained for some years a widower, but married in 1885 Amy See also:Augusta See also:Jackson Lawford, who survived him. He was succeeded in the peerage by his eldest son, See also:Bernard John Seymour (b. 1851), who went to the bar and became a K.C. in 1892. In 1907 he was appointed a judge of the Supreme Court. The two other sons were See also:Stephen (b. 1854), a barrister, secretary to the See also:Anti-See also:Vivisection Society, and See also:- GILBERT
