Robert Lovell, Southey, and Coleridge married three sisters named Fricker, of whom the deceased lady was

the eldest. In 1794 a small volume of poems, the joint production of Lovell and Southey, was issued. Mrs. Lovell was one of the parties to be included in the American emigration scheme of the philosophic bards, which they dignified by the name of "Pantisocracy." Southey, writing in the above-named year to his brother, a naval subaltern, says :-"In March we depart for America-Lovell, his wife, brother, and two of his sisters; all the Frickers; my mother, Miss Peggy, and brothers; Heath, apothecary, &c.; G. Burnett, S. T. Coleridge, Robert Allen, and Robert Southey."
