William Wales, meteorologist and astronomer on James Cook's second voyage, taught Samuel Taylor Coleridge at the Royal Mathematical School, Christ's Hospital, London. In his essay, Whelen points out similarities between events recorded in Wales' journal of his voyage and the imaginative origins of  Coleridge's poem 'The rime of the ancient mariner'. Whelen poits to the probability that Coleridge had Wales' journal in his possession for some time (Call No.: MLMSS 6925)
