Thirty- five years have elapsed since the last was finished at the press; and the Supplementary Volume published by Mr. Barak Longmate, as long ago as 1785, by no means supplies the numerous deficiencies created by the changes of so long and eventful a period. The profusion of Mr. Pitt’s ministry of seventeen years in the creation of honours is sufficiently notorious ; and the active part which Britain has taken in almost every quarter of the world since the commencement of that illustrious states- man’s power, h is drawn forward the talents and exer- tions of so many extraordinary men, that any work of personal history not embracing so brilliant an aera must be comparatively meagre and dull, and without the most interesting features of the glory of later ages. “Collins was a most industrious, faithful, and excel- lent genealogist; to the families which then came within the compass of his work, he left little of pedigree to be done, except a continuation to the present day. But he was more : he was to a certain extent a biographer and historian. Unfortunately, the dryness of his early pur- suits, and perhaps a want of early education on a liberal scale, and, not improbably, a narrow sphere of life which restrained him from any familiar acquaintance with ele- vated society, made him contemplate rank and titles with too indiscriminate respect and flattery. His compilations therefore are miserably wanting in all those higher traits of biography and history, which convey the most amuse- ment and the most instruction. “These are the ingredients which the present Editor has endeavoured to infuse into the work now offered to the Public. He is aware how perilous a task he has un- dertaken, and how impossible it has often been, without decomposing the whole, to give life and light to the inanimate mass. Too large a portion of it he therefore fears still retains its original character. Yet the intelli- gent and candid reader will duly appreciate the vast store- house of important facts and characters which it fur- nishes; in addition to a collection of authentic genealo- gies, which are deduced with the greatest labour and clearness, and are so numerous and extensive, as to em- brace almost all the honourable alliances of the kingdom in past as well as present times.” Check out my other items!
