Excerpt from The Gentleman's Magazine, and Historical Chronicle, Vol. 92: From January to June, 1822T e situation Of the Sister Kingdom is too afiicting to-contemplate but it has afforded to Great Britain an opportunity of dis laying one of her most glorious distinctions. This irresistible call on er humanity, we are proud to say, has met with a correspondent feeling in all who possess the ability to succour human woe.On opening the present Volume, our Readers will doubtless perceive some slight alterations in the editorial and typographical arrangements. We think proper to notice this circumstance, because our pages, from the even tenor and unshaken stability of this Publication, have not, like many others, been exposed to the whims and caprice of fashion. For the purpose Of compressing more matter into each Number, we have adopted a type rather smaller and much closer than heretofore, and in order to introduce more original pers (the Omission Of which has been the cause Of continual comp aints), we have abridged some de partments, and condensed others. Thus, in our Historical Chronicle, that information alone has been selected which is valuable for fu ture reference. Our Obituary, which may be considered of the highest importance to the Biographer and Genealogist, has undergone a material alteration. Every indivrdual Of whom any biographical or in teresting memorials can be Obtained, is placed in the first department of the Obituary, according to rank or situation in life. With regard to those persons of whom no particulars can be gained, we have united the advantages Of a Topographical and Chronological arrangement.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
