Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt from Portraits of Men of Eminence in Literature, Science, and Art, With Biographical Memoirs, Vol. 1: The Photographs From Life In 1829, three years previous to this publication, Lord Mahon published a Life of Belisarius, ' pointing out some errors into which Gibbon had fallen; and the success of this attempt was ac knowledged at home and abroad, amongst others by Von Hammer, a critic of eminence at Vienna. In 1845 he edited Lord Chester field's 'letters, ' and at intervals from 1833 to 1846 he was the writer of articles, mainly historical, in the Quarterly Review.' Some of these, J can of Arc' for example, have been published in a cheap and popular form 3 and the Whole series was issued in the year 1849 collectively, as part of 'murray's Home and Colo nial Library.' In the same series appeared, in 1845, the admirable biography, the Life of Conde.' An extract from the History of England' made its appearance in 1838 under the title of 'the Rise of our Indian Empire and a similar excerpt, under the name of Lord Mahon's History of the American Revolution, ' has been commented on in North American Reviews.

Excerpt from Portraits of Men of Eminence in Literature, Science, and Art, With Biographical Memoirs, Vol. 2: The Photographs From Life This distinguished surgeon, now Examining Physician to the Secretary of State for India in Council, was born about the year 1800, in the Isle of Skye, his father being the Rev. Donald Martin, his mother a sister of Adjutant-General Sir John Macdonald, G.C.B. Having acquired a knowledge of mathematics, geology, and physical geography at the Royal Academy of Inverness, under Professors Nimmo and Tullock, he resolved to enter the military service in a medical capacity. With this object he became, in 1813, a pupil at St. George's Hospital, London, and devoting himself with earnestness to the study of his profession under the advantages then enjoyed by that institution of the services of Sir Everard Home, Sir Charles Bell, Wilson, and Brodie, he, at the expiration of three years, passed his examination at the College of Surgeons, and in 1817 embarked for India. On his arrival at Calcutta, Mr. Martin passed quickly through the usual probationary course, and having joined the 17th and 59th Regiments, he was nominated Assistant Garrison Surgeon of Fort William. Here he greatly distinguished himself by the prompt skill and humanity which he displayed during an outbreak of malignant cholera, and in 1819 he was appointed First Assistant-Surgeon of the General Hospital of Calcutta. It was at this period that the subject of our memoir commenced that important study of the diseases of Europeans in India which led to the peculiar knowledge of tropical maladies upon which his reputation is mainly based.
