CONTEMPORARY BIOGRAHPY.
This day was published, in a large Octavo Volume, prise 12s. in
boards, embellished with Portraits,
PUBLIC CHARACTERS or 1808-9; or,
FULL and ACCURATE MEMOIRS otvarious Persons
11111Inguished in the Walks of Public Life, in the SENATE, the
LEARNED PROFESSIONS, the ARMY and NAVY, DIPLO-
MACY, ,LITBRATURE, COMMERCE, and the• ARTS.
Amongthe Persons of whom there appear biographical accounts
la the present Volume are the following ; viz.
Bishop of St, David', Colonel A. C. Johnstone,
' Rev. W. eore, Governor Clinton,
Sir P. Francis, K. B. Sir Samuel Roitllly,
Marquis of Lansdowne; General Sir J. Stuart,
Lord H. Petty, Bishop of Norwich'
Lord Holland, eaneral Fitzpatrick,
Sir W. Grant, . Captain Sir E. Berry,
Chief Justice Jay, Rt. Hon. Speacer Perceval,
Mr. Dempster, Mr. Sturt,
Marquis of Lothian, Mr. M. P.Andrews,
Earl sit' lipundonald, Mr. Fllmer Honywoc3,
Lerd Cdthrane Mr. Professor Davy,
Sir Alexander dochraae, &c. &c. Sec.
The unparalleled Success which has attended the publicadon of
NINE VOLU/AES of the above-mentioned Work, and the rapid
Sale of many Thousand Copies of successive large Editions, must
render unnecessary any further Explanation of its arraevan and
11101ILT USILTUL PLAN.
'Tine hes, however, conferred a Feature on this Publication,
which it could not originally possess, and the unsparing Scythe
of Death has converted the early Volumes, with some few exemp-
tions, into a Necrology or Obituary of departed Exeellence. In
this point of view the work exhibits new Claims to general In-
terest; and as every successive Edition has boas carefully revised
and improved, the work may be generally received as a faithful
Biographical History of the present times.
The Editor shall repeat, that cute the Commencement of tl4
Work, in gratifying a laudable Curiosity relative to Public Cha-
racters, he has in no instaacessuldied the Wishes of Malevolence.
