THE ANNUAL BIOGRAPHY AND OBITUARY, FOR THE YEAR 1819. VOL. III. LONDON: PRINTED FOR LONGMAN, HURST, REES, ORME, AND BROWN, PATERNOSTER-ROW. 1819. PREFACE. THE appearance of the present, which is the Third Volume of the ANNUAL BIOGRAPHY AND OBITUARY, t a far earlier period than usual, at least implies a wish to conciliate the Public by a due exertion of ndustry. The memoir of Her late Most Excellent Majesty, n addition to the enumeration of many private virtues, will be found to contain some interesting facts relaive to the early education and subsequent studies of hat good and amiable Princess. From the short istorical dissertation on the origin and antiquity of the family of Mecklenburgh, it may also be seen, that he Kings of England and Dukes of Strelitz are lescended from one common ancestor. To such as entertain a taste for the wonderful, some gratification will perhaps be derived from the adventures of a Harriott; while they who toil and drudge in the pursuits of literature will be somewhat consoled on noticing the Herculean labours of a Beloe. 1477 125 V.3-4 A 2 181-71456 |
