Excerpt from The Annual Biography and Obituary, Vol. 5: For the Year 1821 The Annual Biography and Obituary has now been submitted to the inspection of the public during a series of years: sufficient time has, therefore, been afforded, to estimate the claims, and appreciate the labours, of this work. The present, which forms the fifth volume of the collection, will be found to contain several important articles. The sudden demise of the crown, followed by that of two other branches of the royal family, while it throws a temporary cloud over the nation, at the same time contributes to confer a lively interest on our publication. The memoir of the late King will be found to exhibit the life of His Majesty, if not in a novel, at least in an amiable, point of view. That of the Duke of Kent is accompanied with this peculiar advantage, - that the detail of his claims there enumerated, was submitted to, and, after due examination, approved of, by His Royal Highness, some time before his lamented death.
