The first section, consisting of poems by Coleridge himself, omitted twenty poems from the first edition, including many of the more immature ones and all of the sonnets on political figures, but included twelve newer works. It began with a dedicatory poem to his brother, the Rev. George Coleridge, and, as before, concluded with the <i>Religious Musings</i>. This section comprised, Coleridge told Cottle, "my choicest fish, pick'd, gutted, and clean'd", the compound-epithets and other stylistic extravagances "pruned...with no unsparing hand". By contrast, the next two sections, by Lamb and Lloyd respectively, were in effect a Collected Works of the two young poets, occupying nearly a hundred pages. The final section, or Supplement, contains a few poems by Coleridge and his co-authors which he had, as he wrote, "reprieved from immediate oblivion".<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEAshton199685–86,_97_11-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEAshton199685–86,_97-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTECourtney1982132–133_12-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTECourtney1982132–133-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTECampbell189468–69_13-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTECampbell189468–69-13"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>13<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-14" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-14"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>14<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> A newspaper advertisement dated 28 October 1797 announced the publication of the second edition.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEMarrs197599_15-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMarrs197599-15"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>15<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Coleridge almost immediately undercut his relations with his collaborators by publishing in the November 1797 number of the <i><a href="/wiki/Monthly_Magazine" title="Monthly Magazine">Monthly Magazine</a></i>, under the pseudonym of Nehemiah Higginbottom, three sonnets satirising his own poems and those of Lamb and Lloyd.<sup id="cite_ref-16" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-16"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>16<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In consequence, when in 1798 Coleridge floated the idea of a third edition, to include <i><a href="/wiki/The_Rime_of_the_Ancient_Mariner" title="The Rime of the Ancient Mariner">The Ancient Mariner</a></i>, Lloyd asked for his own poems to be withdrawn.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEMarrs1975129_17-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMarrs1975129-17"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>17<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-18" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-18"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>18<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Nothing came of this project in 1798,<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEMarrs1975129_17-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMarrs1975129-17"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>17<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> but by 1803 Coleridge was again planning a new edition, this time to consist entirely of his own poems.
