COLERIDGE (1790-1876)  , English judge, the second son of Captain James Coleridge and nephew of the poet S . T . Coleridge, was born at Tiverton, Devon, and was educated at Corpus Christi College, Oxford, where he had a brilliant career . He graduated in 1812 and was soon after made a fellow of Exeter; in 1819 he was called to the bar at the Middle Temple and practised for some years on the western circuit . In 1824, on Gifford's retirement, he assumed the editorship of the Quarterly Review, resigning it a year afterwards in favour of Lockhart . In 1825 he published his excellent edition of Blackstone's Commentaries, and in 1832 he was made a serjeant-at-law and recorder of Exeter . In 1835 he was appointed one of the judges of the king's bench . In 1852 his university created him a D.C.L., and in 1858 he resigned his judgeship, and was made a member of the privy council . In 1869, although in extreme old age, he produced his pleasant Memoir of the Rev . John Keble, whose friend he had been since their college days, a third edition of which was issued within a year . He died on the 11th of February 1876 at Ottery St Mary, Devon, leaving two sons and a daughter; the eldest son, John Duke, 1st Baron Coleridge (q.v.), became lord chief justice of England; the second son, Henry James (1822-1893), left the Anglican for the Roman Catholic church in 1852, and became well-known as a Jesuit divine, editor of The Month, and author of numerous theological works . Sir John Taylor Coleridge's brothers, James Duke and Henry Nelson (husband of Sara Coleridge), are referred to in other articles; his brother Francis George was the father of Arthur Duke Coleridge (b .

1830), clerk of assizes on the midland circuit and author of

Eton in the Forties, whose daughter Mary E . Coleridge (1861–1907) became a well-known writer of fiction .
