Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Memoirs of the Life and Writings of the Rev. Claudius Buchanan, D. D, Vol. 1: Late Vice-Provost of the College of Fort William in Bengal
The observation of Lord Bacon, as to the deficiency in the biographical literature of his day, is certainly not applicable to the present times. We have rather to complain of ex cess than of defect. While ample justice has been done to the lives of eminent per-e sons, it must be confessed, that accounts of obscure individuals have been unnecessarily multiplied.
