Biography

[edit]

Coleridge was the second son ofJohn Duke Coleridge,Lord Chief Justice of England, and Jane Fortescue Seymour, an accomplished artist. His grandfather was nephew to the famous poetSamuel Taylor Coleridge.[1] At fourteen he was sent to the public schoolBradfield College. He attendedTrinity College, Cambridge, where he graduated in 1878.[2]

He was admitted toMiddle Temple in July, 1875 and May, 1882.[3] He was called to theBar in 1886. He worked as private secretary under his father 1884–1890. He wasClerk of assize for South Wales Circuit in 1890.[3]

Coleridge came to widespread public attention in England in 1903, when he publicly accusedWilliam Bayliss of the Department of Physiology atUniversity College London of having broken the law during an experiment on a dog, thereby sparking theBrown Dog affair. Bayliss sued forlibel and was awarded damages of £2,000.

Coleridge was also an accomplished landscape artist, who exhibited at the Alpine Club Gallery, theSuffolk Street galleries and theRoyal Academy.[4]

Animal welfare

[edit]

Coleridge was president of theLeague for the Prohibition of Cruel Sports and director of theNational Anti-Vivisection Society.[5] He resigned in 1931 from the League for the Prohibition of Cruel Sports over a difference of opinion with the committee.[6] Coleridge commented that "I shall have nothing further to do with the League: I am not changing my views nor deserting the animals".[6]

Under leadership of the National Anti-Vivisection Society, Coleridge supported restrictionist legislative proposals for vivisection.[7] He envisioned progressively more stringent measures leading to total abolition. This angered members who favoured only abolition. In response,Frances Power Cobbe formed theBritish Union for the Abolition of Vivisection.[7]
