Book Description
Excerpt from Portraits of Illustrious Personages of Great Britain, Vol. 1 of 8: With Biographical and Historical Memoirs of Their Lives and Actions The object of the Publisher in undertaking this entirely new and unprecedentedly cheap edition of a splendid and justly celebrated Work, is to produce it in such a shape as shall be accessible to all whose means have hitherto precluded them from forming an acquaintance with it in more expensive forms: but in effecting this end, none of the merits of the original edition, size alone excepted, will be sacrificed; while on the other hand, the diminution of bulk will, by rendering the work more portable, increase its value with those who in their wanderings love the companionship of a favourite Author, or who, when visiting the old halls and castles where hang the originals of the Portraits adorning the pages of Lodge, desire to satisfy themselves of the Engraver's fidelity. It is probable that the "Cabinet Edition" may become known to many who have hitherto been unaware of the nature or merits of the work, and to others who, knowing it by name only, or from a cursory inspection of the prints, may have regarded it as a mere collection of splendid engravings, to which the "letter-press" was attached more for form than use.

Book Description
Excerpt from Portraits of Illustrious Personages of Great Britain, Vol. 1 In imparting to the public, five years since, the design of this great work, and the character with which it was proposed to invest it, the author took the liberty to offer some remarks of a general nature, the substance of which it may perhaps be necessary, at all events cannot be improper, to recapitulate in this place. "It is needless," he observed, "to descant largely on the extended information and delight which we derive from the multiplication of portraits by engraving, or on the more important advantages resulting from the study of biography. Separately considered, the one affords an amusement not less innocent than elegant; inculcates the rudiments, or aids the progress, of taste; and rescues from the hand of time the perishable monuments raised by the pencil.
