• COITTEMPORARY BIOGRAPHY.
This day was pnblebed, in 9 latge octavo volumes, price half-a-
guinea each in hoards, embellished with numerous Portraits,
PUBLIC CHARACTERS; or • FULL and
ACCURATE MEMOIRS of various Persons aitinguished
in the walks of Public Life, in the SENATE, the LEARNED PRO•

The unparalleled sueeesiwhich has attended the publication of
the above-mentioned Work, and the rapid sale of many thousand
copies of successite large Editions, must render unnecessary any
further explanation of ha APPROVED and lITGIILY USRFUL PLAN.
Time has, however, conferred a Feature- on this Publication,
which it could not originally possess, and tfse unsparing Scythe of
Death has converted the early Volunuis, with some few excep-
tions, into a Necrology or Obituary of departed excellence. In this
point of view-the Work exhibits new claims to general interest ;
and as every successive Edition has been carefully revised and
Improved, the Work may be received as a faithful Biographical
History of the present 'Fimes.
The Editor shall repeat, that since the commencement of the
Work, in gratifying a laudable curiosity relative to Public Charac-
ters, be :,AS in no instance satisfied the wishes of Malevolence.
