Recollections of the Table-Talk of Samuel Rogers

Recollections of the Table Talk of Samuel Rogers (published posthumously, 1855) compiles anecdotes, conversations, and observations attributed to the poet Samuel Rogers.

The volume preserves his comments on literature, society, and language, including complaints about contemporary pronunciation changes.

As a primary-source snapshot of 19th-century attitudes, it illuminates how speakers perceived evolving stress patterns and pronunciation fashions.

The work has been used by historians and linguists studying reception and prescriptive views on language in the period.
