Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Lives of Dr. Edward Pocock, the Celebrated Orientalist, Vol. 1 of 2
The republication of the Lives con tained in these volumes will, it is hoped, be deemed an acceptable service to those who may not be in possession of the works to which they have been hitherto attached or 'who may be desirous to increase their stores of literary history by having them pre sented in a form more easily accessible than the original. They are principally valuable as belonging to that species of Biography, called the minute, which we cannot expect to find in Biographical Collections, im portant as the latter are; and of their im portance, no man can be more sensible than the writer of the present article.
